Pop-up Shopping
If you’re still doing your holiday shopping, consider a stop at the pop-up shops in the downtown Deco District.
The stores — set up in the Thompson, Philcade, Enterprise and Ponca City Savings & Loan buildings along Boston Avenue between Fifth and Seventh streets — will be there through Dec. 28.
Hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Among the items being sold are jewelry, books, cupcakes and dog treats.

Holiday lights
Plenty of holiday lights displays are still on. If you haven’t already, make a trip to Rhema Bible Church, 1025 W. Kenosha in Broken Arrow. This display — featuring 2 million lights and a 50-figure nativity scene, is on nightly through New Year’s Day from 5:30 to 11:30 p.m. Free.
Another option, if you’re up for a short drive, is the Woolaroc Wonderland of Lights, at 1925 Woolaroc Ranch Road in Bartlesville. The lights are on 5-9 p.m. Fridays-Sundays through Dec. 23. More than 600,000 lights illuminate this annual event, and visitors can take a ride in a wagon or stroll through the grounds. $4 adults, $1 children (11-younger).
