Christmas

If you've ever wanted a job as an elf during Christmastime, you should consider volunteering for this year's Stroll on State.

It's a yearly tradition, how do we get rid of our tree?

Congratulations to these Rockford area families on the birth of their little miracles. The NICU dressed these little blessings up for their first Christmas.

Packing away all of your holiday gear can be kind of a drag, but at least with great storage solutions, it can be easy. Christmas clean up is a breeze when you’ve got the right tools!

Christmas is days away and if you're not quite feeling it yet, a tour of some of the best holiday lights the Rockford area has to offer might help.

You were just about to go to the liquor store to get ready for Christmas, weren't you? Maybe you want to head downtown instead.

As we told you a couple of weeks back, the "Christmas Star," last seen about 800 years ago, is going to make a return to the skies on December 21st, which just happens to be the first day of winter.

Normally, on the first day of Winter, December 21st (or, the Winter solstice) here in the Rockford area, we react with...well, we don't really react because it's already cold and usually snowy, and it's felt like winter for weeks already.

Because of this ongoing pandemic, we're doing a lot of things differently this year than we normally do. One of those things is holiday shopping. More people started earlier, and more are shopping online.

In the interests of full disclosure, I must tell you that we have an artificial (or phony, as my two brats...I mean wonderful kids) Christmas tree at our house. And, it's things like this that make me glad we do.
