December Michigan Event Calendar
A sampling of Michigan festivals & events for the month of December. As usual, there's no way we'll get them all, so please add links and information about those we've missed (or reviews of ones we have here) in the comments section.

Frosty Tuesday: Silver Bells, Falling Snow & Skidding Autos
From Silver Bells in the City in Lansing to Michigan's first storm of the 2008-2009 winter, it's clear that if winter isn't here to stay, it won't be long in coming. Here's hoping that Michigan's car companies aren't in for a long, cold winter.

Video Spotlight: Josh Davis Trio - "Working Man's Hymn"
Taped at the Mid-Michigan Environmental Action Council (Mid-MEAC) benefit, Absolute Michigan correspondent captured this video of the Josh Davis Trio performing "Working Man's Hymn". Held on Friday, November 7 the event raised nearly $4,000 to keep Mid-MEAC programs going and growing.
