3. The Legacy Baptist Church invites you to go back in time this holiday season. The church is holding a walking tour of a recreated Bethlehem. You can explore the history of Christmas as you walk through the streets, talking with merchants and families, as if you were back in Bethlehem on the first Christmas, searching for an inn. The event is free, and runs Dec. 9 through Dec. 11. (AllEvents)
4. The Alpha Alpha Psi Omega chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.® is holding its first fall fundraising event. The newly chartered chapter will be hosting a Sneaker Soirée.

From our sponsor:

Are you a Dallas-Hiram resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market? Consider fine art. Masterworks is the award-winning platform helping 575,000+ invest in works by the same world-renowned artists that are coveted by ultra-wealthy collectors and major museums alike (think Picasso, Basquiat, and Banksy.) Masterworks splits these multi-million dollar works into shares, so you can invest without breaking the bank.

Contemporary art has outpaced the stock market by a whopping 131% over the last 26 years. Seven of Masterworks’ eight sold paintings gave their investors a +17.8% net returns*.
