If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, you definitely need to visit Calgary this December! The prairies are covered in a deep blanket of snow every year making for a picturesque way to get into the holiday spirit. Here are some great excuses to make the trip!

The spirit of Christmas is really the spirit of giving, and this is a wonderful opportunity for you to find perfectly thoughtful gifts for all the special people on your shopping list! Come and explore the Make It! Show on November 29 – December 1.
 

BONEY M

Boney M were superstars of Disco, combining deep R&B with danceable beats that transfixed an entire generation. Between hits like “Rasputin” and “Rivers of Babylon,” they wrote tunes that compelled people onto the dance floor to shake their booty.

They also released one of the best Christmas albums of all time. Combining classic carols with original songs that captured the spirit of the holidays, Boney M are one of the few musical groups whose Christmas offerings are every bit the equal of their other recordings. They’ll be playing in Calgary on December 13 at the Grey Eagle Casino. Dress for the occasion by putting on your ugly sweater; however, odds are that you’ll still be wearing that sweater at the end of the night are slim. You’ll definitely be raising a sweat dancing feverishly to infectious beats.

Early December is the right time to squeeze in a break before the demands of the holiday season take hold of you! Go on a shopping excursion, let loose at a concert and make sure you get the rest you deserve by booking a room at the Days Inn Calgary Airport. A convenient location, a wonderful package of amenities, and well-appointed accommodations for great value will make you feel right at home.
