It's going to be a busy few days here at the Delaware and Maryland beaches, and throughout the region, as a wide selection of Christmas-themed events are scheduled in pretty much every town and city in the area.

There's certainly no shortage of things to see and do during this first weekend of December, so get outside and enjoy the holiday season over the next few days.

We've got a whole lot to tell you about, so let's get started!

Caroling on The Circle (Dec. 5)

This annual holiday tradition takes place on Monday, December 5, on The Circle in Georgetown.

Doubling as the Sussex County Food Drive, this event is held rain or shine. If there's inclement weather, it will be moved inside the nearby Georgetown Fire House.

The 2022 Caroling on The Circle is scheduled for 6:30 p.m., with plenty of holiday tunes on the program.

This is a free event but attendees are asked to bring non-perishable food items for donation to the food drive.
