"Linda is an extraordinary woman. Resilient and fun-loving. If anyone had told me Paul would find a woman who loves gourmet cooking, travelling to exotic places and debating the merits of the Arsenal back four as much as him, I wouldn't have believed them. Yet here she is. You two are going to have quite a life together. "

Anyone taking a trip to Detroit, Michigan, in December will find a city lit up with holiday lights hanging from every establishment and the enormous Christmas tree by the ice rink in Campus Martius Park. Public, private, secular and religious institutions in Detroit all put on annual events in December. These family-friendly events provide entertainment that helps bring families closer during the holiday season.

1. Noel Night

   • Each year the University Cultural Center Association puts on Noel Night, where 45 cultural institutions around Detroit join together for a massive open house event. Institutions such as the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History and the Detroit Public Library open their doors for an evening of family activities. These activities include live performances, crafts such as making a gingerbread house, shopping from local small business vendors and carriage rides. Many local choral, theater and dance groups participate. Free shuttles provide transportation to the different venues throughout the night. Many of the local restaurants participate in Noel Night, providing food and drink near the different venues. The night is capped off with the traditional sing-along led by the Salvation Army Band.

Open to the public, both children and adult members of the church participate in this annual tradition. Historic Trinity Lutheran Church is located in downtown Detroit and has a bustling holiday season schedule including an open house to show off their Christmas decorations and splendor to the public. The Live Nativity show is generally held in the evening about a week before Christmas.
