Look out, folks: Black Friday is here, and with it comes the primitive urge to push, shove, and fight in order to get a decent deal on electronics… If you plan to avoid these barbaric rituals (like I do), consider doing one of the following:
- Enjoy the Nutcracker Ballet at the Pikes Peak Center.
Flickr/Roger Meike Tickets are still available for the 7p.m. showing . Visit the Pikes Peak Center website for more information.
- Take a long nap.

- Spend the day skiing…

- …snowboarding…

- …or sledding.

- Take the kids to see the ElectriCritters display at the Pueblo Zoo.
Pueblo Zoo Facebook ElectriCritters runs Nov. 25th, 27-29th, Dec 4-6th, 11-13th, 18th-23rd, 26-27th from 5:30-8:30 p.m.
- Volunteer.
Flickr/ccbarr Whether you feed the homeless, shovel snow for your elderly neighbor, or gather items for charity; it’s good to give back to those less fortunate!
- Take a hike.
Flickr/Jack Colorado manages to become even more beautiful this time of year…so get out and enjoy it!
- Walk through the winter wonderland that is the Denver Botanic Garden’s Blossoms of Light.
Flickr/Raymond Johnson Blossoms of Light is open Nov. 27th - January 2nd from 5:30-9 p.m.
- Decorate for Christmas.

- Do a pub crawl around Old Town Fort Collins.
