The holiday season is upon us and I, like many, get nostalgic for home; the snow, the trees and homes lit with twinkling lights, the fires in my mom & dad's living room: The New England Christmas (Holiday Season).
One of the things I miss the most though is listening to classical holiday music, especially the Boston Pops. I knew Cleveland had a great orchestra. I had been to their 9/11 Tribute Concert by Tower City and thought they were fantastic. I wondered what options there were for holiday concerts and being on the hunt for an economically-friendly option, I decided to look into free concerts in the Cleveland area.
Below are some of the selected options of the literally dozens I've found. Most of these venues/organizations/groups have many more FREE concerts and thus if you click on their name, it should link you to their site so you can peruse if you so wish.

Well, that's just a brief start. I have many more to add but my tummy's grumbling for that delicious steak I bought and I have a certain vegan's Christmas gift to wrap. Gosh, is he going to be SOOOOO excited when he opens it. I can't wait!!
