    Head to Northwest Albuquerque this weekend and create fun holiday memories with friends and family. There’s something for everyone, with just the right amount of excitement and enjoyment to kick off Christmas. Happy Holidays from our family to yours! 

    1.Annual Holiday Home Decorating Contest

    Check out the entries in this year’s Holiday Home Decorating contest in Ventana Ranch and Ventana Ranch West. A map showing participating homes has been pulled due to recent vandalism in the area but it’s still fun to drive around to see the lights. While there, be sure to check out the decorations at the home of Dave Plourde, a.k.a. Mr. Christmas. The Neighborhood Journal will also be sharing photos of some of the top entries later this week.

    2. Visit with Santa before he’s gone

    Knock out any last-minute shopping and pay a special visit to see Santa. Photos with Santa are available daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve at Cottonwood Mall. Reservations should be made here. Fifteen-minute time slots with photo packages range from $39.99-$49.99.
