If you are like me and always have some tough nuts to buy gifts for each year, you might think outside the box and give a McKinney Christmas experience rather than a thing.
You’re Never Too Old to Learn Something New
Our little town of McKinney has no end of talent, and lucky for us that means a lot of great teachers. Music lessons, art lessons, tennis lessons, cooking lessons. Choose your recipient’s passion and you will likely find a good teacher right here in town. And remember, lessons aren’t just for kids. Learning something new keeps you young!
Prepping to be the next McKinney Idol:

Lessons for the Aspiring Athlete:

Fencing Lessons at the North Texas Fencing Alliance
A Performance or Membership Makes a Great Gift
If lessons don’t quite fit the bill, what about a membership or performance? The McKinney Performing Arts Center has productions throughout the year. Tickets to one of McKinney’s fantastic performances would make a great gift.
For the nature lover, consider a membership to The Heard Museum, which includes reciprocal membership to over 300 science and technology centers across the country.
The Gift of Time
Remember that the people in your life would probably like to spend some time with you more than just about anything. Maybe the best gift you could give is a stroll around Historic Downtown McKinney or dinner and great conversation at one of McKinney’s great restaurants.
Do you have any favorite McKinney experiences that would make a great Christmas gift? Please share them in the comments. I have a long Christmas list this year!
