2. At 1 p.m. it's the Annual Blue Hills Reservation hike. Enjoy the winter woods. Hike is suitable for all ages. Meet at the Houghton’s Pond main parking lot at 840 Hillside Street in Milton. Please arrive by 12:30 p.m. to allow sufficient time to access the event. Parking is limited. For more information 617-698-1802.

3. How about a little after holiday shopping? The sales start today and the malls will be busy. South Shore Plaza in Braintree, Legacy Place in Dedham, Patriot Place in Foxboro or the Wrentham Outlets are good destination spots for some serious shop till you drop.
