You may have heard of historic Grapevine because it's the self-declared Christmas capital of Texas. My son's new college friend Landon, who hails from the North Texas suburb, told me all about his childhood city when he came to visit. In late November, Grapevine gears up for forty days of extravagant Christmas events, during which the city of about 50,000 is decorated with millions of lights, enormous decorations, and a bustling outdoor ice rink just off Main Street. While holidays in the Christmas capital are festive and fabulous, I decided to check out Grapevine in the summer, stopping en route to transporting my son to Camp Sweeney in Gainesville.
