The holidays are over and it's the new year in the the city of Sacramento. To start the year off right, there are many fun and exciting events to enjoy. As always Sacramento has things going on for singles, couples and families as well. Like the I Hate Children Children's Show that is happening January 10th at Laughs Unlimited, where both you and the entire family will enjoy some laughs and according to sacramento365.com "Magician Paul Nathan, winner of Best Children's Show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, combines dry humor with tricks that keep kids entranced and parents smiling." Sounds like a winner to me! Now, for something that everyone with or without children can rave about... The Shen Yun Performing Arts! Now I have seen the ads, billboards and commercials for this event but haven't had the pleasure of attending one. However, I have heard that it is spectacular! And once again, according to sacramento365.com, "Shen Yun takes you on an extraordinary journey to the lost land of the ancient Middle Kingdom." Very intriguing! This event will take place January 13th and 14th at the Community Center Theater.

It's almost the middle of December and the kids will be out of school for winter break soon. How to keep them entertained during those couple of weeks? Here are some family friendly ideas everyone can enjoy. San Jose is definitely known for its annual Christmas in the Park. It's a great event for all age groups whether or not you have kids. It can even be romantic for a date, with all the Christmas lights, games and rides, almost like a winter carnival, but better! If you haven't already been, check the Yelp! reviews, it seems to come highly recommended.

The holidays are almost here! It's November and department stores are already staying open late. Before you know it Thanksgiving will be here then Christmas. For now, let's enjoy the festivities that Oakland has to offer. If you're trying to avoid facing the holidays for just a little bit longer then here are some events that are sure to please. Every Wednesday, during the month of November and December, Bocanova is having half off all bottled wines. What a way to bring in the holidays. Ever wanted to see the rhythms of some of your favorite pop and rock songs dance in laser light? Well now you can with LaserMania. Every weekend during the months from October through December you can enjoy this unique experience at the Chabot Space & Science Center. 

November has officially arrived to one of the greatest cities in Northern California. Even though summer is over, it doesn't mean that the fun has to be! San Francisco is known for its unique vibe and exciting events, not to mention home to the SF Giants! Winning three World Series Championships in five years, we all know this city will have its share of sleepless nights. In addition for those of us who are not baseball fans, there are still a great deal of functions and various events taking place during the month of November. For example, Cirque Du Soleil: Kurios is coming to San Francisco from Nov. 14th - December 31st. Cirque du Soleil San Francisco shows feature gorgeous costumes and talented acrobats. If there are any I Love Lucy fans out there, like myself, then you need to go to I Love Lucy: Live On Stage. Although it is not the original cast, it'll still be interesting to see what it would've been like to be a part of the audience at that time. This event will be taking place November 11 - 23 at the Curran Theater. 

Even though the weather has cooled down, San Francisco is definitely not the city to sleep. With many things to do, we have no choice but to trust that when we leave our homes, that everything will still be there when we get back. However, that is never promised and if you don't secure your San Francisco home with an ADT Home Security System, you are taking a chance every single time you step out. Most people often wait till they've become victims of a burglary, to realize the importance of an ADT home security system. For starters, you can stay informed of what's going on in your neighborhood by checking San Francisco crime. Remember, it's never too late to take the first step in protecting your home and your loved ones.

Sacramento never falls short when it comes to events. There is always something fun and exciting going on. October 10-12, Sacramento is hosting its second annual Sactoberfest. Bridge District of West Sacramento, this is an event the whole family can enjoy. There will be good ol' German food, beer, full carnival for the kids, entertainment, live bands, etc. Plus, you get one free beer with your ticket purchase! Also going on at the same time is the Sacramento Horror Film Festival. For the eighth year, it's definitely a must-go for horror fans and since we are in the month of October, what better way to get into the Halloween spirit. 

Oh boy! I hate to be the bearer of bad news but summer is officially over and the holidays are right around the corner. Hope you're all prepared! Halloween is here in just a couple of weeks and to get into the spooky spirit, you can have a great time with family at the Pumpkin Maze at Dell’Osso Family Farm. Every time I drive up that way, I always tell myself I'm going to go but never do. It is located right off the highway and you can't miss it! Even though the summer is over, there are still tons of exciting events you can attend. If you're a fan of history, then the “Art of Survival: Enduring the Turmoil of Tule Lake” at The San Joaquin County Historical Museum event is the place to be. For all the Jazz fans, you should go and enjoy an evening at the Mile Wine Company. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights they have live jazz playing while you sit down and enjoy one of their delicious paninis. With all the events and entertainment, it's hard to stay at home even if the kids have started school and the weather might be cooling down. Protecting your Stockton home with an ADT Home Security System will maximize the safety of your home and personal belongings, so that you can enjoy all the great events Stockton has to offer. Be sure to check Stockton crime so that you'll have the most current statistics about home burglaries, auto theft, home invasions and robberies in your neighborhood.
