Christmas treats at Madeleine’s

This blog post has been corrected. Christmas Tree Elegance doesn’t start until Tuesday. Hopefully I was the only fool who showed up at the Davenport Hotel today looking for trees. My apologies.

Is there any better place to be than downtown Spokane during the holidays? OK, so New York City would be pretty great, too, but we have plenty of wonderful things happening here to keep us busy and be proud of during the next month or so.

I had dinner at Madeleine’s Cafe & Patisserie last week, and was adoring the Christmas sweets they had for sale, including those snowmen above and a few other treats you can see here .

A great way to keep on top of the holiday happenings is to click on Spokane 7’s calendar and do a search under the “holiday” category . Next weekend’s Vintage Christmas gift and craft show has my attention, not to mention Christmas Tree Elegance , which runs Dec. 1-12.

What are your favorite holiday events in the Spokane area?
