Corporate Concierge
281-293-9793 or 281-497-7944
The Concierge will be closed December 11-12, 18-19, 22-31 & January 1-2 for
the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Thank you for planning your ticket
purchases accordingly.
The Management Office will be closed December 25 – 26 and January 1
in observance of the /Christmas and New Year’s Day holidays.
Concierge Comments… Is it just me, or did this year fly past? As the saying goes, “time and tide
wait for no man,” so let’s squeeze the most out of the season. Holiday
events are in full swing with the Houston Ballet’s annual feast for the eyes
and ears, The Nutcracker (through Dec.28); Alley Theatre’s A Christmas
Carol: A Ghost Story of Christmas (through Dec. 24) will frighten and
delight; TUTS’ Radio City Christmas Spectacular (Dec. 5-28) will make you
wish you’d never stopped taking those dance lessons; the Houston Grand
Opera’s unique take on A Christmas Carol (Dec. 5-21) will intrigue; and the
Houston Symphony’s A Very Merry Pops (Dec. 12-14) will have you
singing carols while Handel’s Messiah (Dec. 19-21) and the “Hallelujah”
chorus will almost make you burst with glad tidings!
Step back in time to enjoy the holidays in an old-fashioned way with
Dickens on the Strand in Galveston (Dec. 5-7) and at the Heritage Society’s
52nd Annual Candlelight Tour (Dec. 13-14) in downtown Houston. There
are more holiday events listed in the Calendar of Events on Page 2 and even
more listed in the 2014 Houston Holiday Roundup.
May we all experience a little more peace on earth and goodwill toward
our fellow man as another year closes and we prepare for a new one. Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year!
