Lean Into the Season: Festive Finds, Giving Back & Holiday Magic

Hey FresYes fam!

The holiday season has arrived, and this week’s lineup is all about leaning into the season instead of hiding from the grey skies. Natali is sharing five festive must-dos around Fresno to help shake off the winter blahs and make some meaningful holiday memories, while I’m breaking down the latest Fresno housing market snapshot so you know exactly where things stand as we close out the year. 🏡📊 From giving back through our Angel Tree program to planning an unforgettable New Year’s Eve at Tap & Cellar, there’s plenty happening locally to keep spirits high and calendars full.

And speaking of slowing down and soaking in the season, I got this sweet holiday idea from Emily Frisella and it was too good not to share. She recently passed along a free “Dear Santa” printable that brings back all the cozy, nostalgic Christmas feels. It’s a simple, meaningful way to sit with the kids (or grandkids, nieces, nephews…) and help them write out their wishes and holiday hopes so I wanted to make it easy for you to download and enjoy with your family too. 🎄✨
