6 Things to do in Frederick Maryland During the Christmas Season!

1. Maryland Ensemble Theatre’s Fun Company: A Christmas Carol

Enjoy "A Christmas Carol" At the Weinberg center from December 16-18!

2. A night in Downtown Frederick

Downtown Frederick is a great place to spend time no matter what the season. But Christmas has to be one of the best. Trees lining the streets are decorated in Christmas lights. Christmas carols are being sung on what seems like every corner, and the general vibe of downtown screams Christmas. Take the time to spend an evening in downtown and if you weren’t already hyped for Christmas, you will be!

3. Mayne’s Tree Farm

This is a picture I took of this breathtaking place. If you’re looking for an authentic Christmas tree farm to pick out your family’s Christmas tree. Mayne’s Tree Farm is the place to go. Hop on a tractor-pulled wagon and set out to find your “Griswold family Christmas tree” … or your “Charlie Brown tree.”

4. Schifferstadt (Museums by Candlelight)

Everyone who lives in Frederick knows about the awesome Oktoberfest that Schifferstadt annually hosts, but Schifferstadt is also part of Historic Frederick’s Museums by Candlelight tours. On December 10, from 1-6 pm you can stop by to see Schifferstadt well decorated for the Christmas season!

5. Candlelight Tour of Historic Houses of Worship.

While on the subject of candlelight tours. On December 26 from 4-9 p.m. the historic church buildings in downtown Frederick will be opening their doors to the public. Frederick has been known as the City of Spires, and now you can get a first hand look at each one.

6. Horse-drawn Carriage Rides!

One of my fondest memories of Christmas time in Frederick was taking a tour of historic Frederick in a horse-drawn carriage. Carriage rides run through December 23 in the evenings and depart from a number of locations in the Downtown area. Make sure to try it out and be sure to bring lots of blankets too!

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
