Winter Time Event's: Local to Paradise, California

I just want to start off by saying that Paradise California is a small town. Though beautiful and mostly covered in pine trees. It does not have many extravagant events for winter. Times are changing though and our town has grown quite a bit. We still do not have many resources for very big events. So I am listing a few of our town's events as well as the nearby city of Chico's. It Is about fifteen to twenty minutes away. Which is bigger and has a bigger selection of events to go to. A place where most everyone goes to shop, dine, and work. There will be a list of five events for each place. Here they are and hope you will visit if you don't live here, but if you already live nearby, hope you go and enjoy the fun.
