December is here and events celebrating the holiday season are happening throughout North Jersey (check out our big list of tree lightings, menorah lightings and winter festivals !), including the annual Holiday Stroll in Pompton Lakes, "The Christmas Caper" at HacPAC, and Christmas concerts by the Squirrel Nut Zippers in Newton and the Chanticleer vocal ensemble at NJPAC.

But it's not all holidays all the time. Have a magical time at Wizard Fest in Rutherford, see the Jets at MetLife Stadium, enjoy animals and crafts at the Tenafly Nature Center, partake in wine tasting in Pompton Lakes, and listen to live jazz in Madison.

See below for the details and (brrrr!) the weather forecast. Happy December!
