LANSING - In case the colorful lights, chilling snow, and empty stores haven't shown, it's the holiday season! Christmas spirit is abound through Lansing, and a stroll through Old Town or down the Washington Square would cure any forgetfulness.

But, true to Lansing, Art makes everything that much better. No different in the holiday season! You certainly recall Christmas crafts at school and home. All of the amazing entertainment across your television, being cemented by the coldest of nature's beauties - snow.
