What was checked & what still needs confirmation

Read in a browser. The queued Christmas on the Square URL still redirects to the Historic Mesquite page. The Real Texas Holidays hub still shows last year's 'Dec. 6-7' and $12 wristband text; the Christmas in the Park page itself says Saturday Dec 5 and Sunday Dec 6, which matches the 2026 calendar. No zip printed.
