The ice cleared, the roads are safe, the tree got lit, we all got some Santa-selfies and the wassail is all gone. It's like the freeze and the holiday season just crammed everything all together into one weekend. Now, it's time for us to get our last-minute gifts from our gift guide and drink as many peppermint mochas and mulled wine as we can before the new year gets here and we have to get back to our "healthy routines."
Don't forget to tag your pics with #WDDI while you're hustling and bustling the rest of the holiday season to make sure your pics wind up right here in our weekend round up!
We seriously over-wassailed on Friday. We're still feeling the come down. La Di Da, Recycled and The DIME Store had some of our favorite wassail. Who did you vote for?
Some of the wassail stops had code words for alcoholic wassail. Walking up to people and saying code words immediately become our new favorite thing.
We got in pretty close with Santa. Close enough to smell that his hot cocoa was definitely not 100% cocoa.
By the looks of it, these ladies spiked their wassail. Photo by @TheFinderandtheFarmer.
The evening was still slightly wet and misty. There was even some ice on the ground still. We won't lie - we even slipped once in front of a crowd. Photo by Jazmine Lopez.
Some wassail stops had other goods they were giving away, too.
Jeff Amano of Serendipity On the Square passed out some of our favorite "leaded" wassail Friday evening.

We hit up the Spune Christmas Show at Dan's, and enjoyed the local tunes and tacos all night long.
We prepped for the event the best way we know how.

Many businesses have put up some decorations for the holidays. Jupiter House has some of our favorite local holiday decor. Shain Sheaff agrees.
Shift had their first art show this weekend. Can't wait for their next one. Here's barista Aaron, brewing four cups at once. Photo by Nick Stevens.
Post ice storm, many schools were closed until Wednesday or Thursday, but that didn't keep Dentonites from getting out and about when the sun came out. Here's a lovely photo of the courthouse by Raechel Haley.
When there was ice, we saw some very ingenuitive sleds. Photo by @cookiemomster.
