Chinese Christmas
Going out to eat Chinese food is a tradition for some on Christmas Day, but now you can supplement that with the acclaimed Chinese Lantern Festival, which runs through Jan. 6 at Fair Park in Dallas. It begins at 5 p.m. Admission is $11.90 for children, $16.15 for adults. www.chineselanternfestival.com
