Bonham, Texas -- The holiday spirit was on full display in Bonham this past weekend, beginning with the Christmas Parade, sponsored by the Bonham Area Chamber of Commerce.

It was a crisp winter day Saturday, perfect for shoppers making the rounds for a full day of events in historic downtown Bonham.

Creative Arts Center was filled with vendors for Sweets, Spirits & Sparkles, Stay Grounded Coffee Café hosted Home for the Holidays Market, and Trade Days gave shoppers a variety of options.
