With Thanksgiving in the rear view mirror (aside from the leftovers we’re still making our way through), the holiday season is in full gear! If you’re like my best friend, you’ve got all your holiday shopping done and the house already decorated. Which makes we wonder how we stay friends. 😄 Lucky for the rest of us, the Mall at Prince George’s (Mall at PG) is right around the corner and is having its PREIT Perks Member Weekend this Saturday and Sunday, with special offers like $50 Holiday Rewards Cash after spending $51 (!!!), mini-makeovers, free gift wrapping and more! They’re also hosting great holiday activities, like Sensory Santa, Songs of the Season and a holiday vendor market. Who says the early bird gets the worm?! Read on, turtle doves!

🌠 Adopted Families Angel Tree
If the spirit moves you, pick an angel off the tree pictured below, set up behind Santa’s helpers in Center Court, buy a gift for a child in need and drop in the box next to the angel tree this holiday season. I took a look around and ages ranged from 0-18; many requests for coats and toys. Please do what you can to help Ivy Community Charities of Prince George’s County with this great effort to share some holiday cheer with as many children as possible.
