ParentMap Magazine

December 2023

ParentMap’s annual holiday arts guide is here! There are festive choices on tap to suit everyone’s taste, from numinous “Nutcrackers” and classic (and not so classic) “Christmas Carols,” to magical music and so much more. For good measure, we’ve also included utterly unique productions and performances that defy all categorization, so you’ll find them filed under “unique treats.”

If that’s not enough, our December Play List crams in even more family fun, from classic holiday shows, to wintery outdoor excursions and annual holiday events you won’t want to miss. Plus, you’ll find a thoughtful essay about what makes us human, expert tips on raising emotionally resilient teenagers, books that focus on the importance of forgiveness, fantastic ideas for family gifts that give back and more!

Happy holidays!
