Top things to do in Houston this week:

1. Monday through Thursday, float through the Texas Winter Lights at the Marriott Marquis Houston in Downtown Houston! New this year is a walk-through or float-under light experience available on the 60,000 square-foot Parkview Terrace. Every night, from 5:00pm to 10:00pm the hotel’s iconic Texas-shaped lazy river will be surrounded by one-mile of sparkling lights, providing an interactive light experience 110-feet above street level, complete with stunning views of downtown Houston skyline, overlooking Discovery Green Park. (You do not have to be a hotel guest to visit, Monday through Thursday.)
2. Friday and Saturday, celebrate the holidays with Home for the Holidays in Alvin. There is a gingerbread building contest and a festival.
3. Friday, Saturday or Sunday, sign up to watch A Christmas Carol – A Ghost Story of Christmas with Alley Theatre. It’s free and virtual.
4. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, enjoy the Trail of Lights at Dewberry Farm!
5. On Saturday, watch the Stearman Santa Fly-In at the Lone Star Flight Museum. Santa really flies in!
6. All week, Trains Over Texas is returning to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. The O-scale model trains visit oil country salt domes, prairies and wetlands of the Texas coast and state and national monuments. They also pass through Galveston, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio!
