Santa Claus

It's that time of year when parents pull out the Santa card to get kids to behave. Most of the time it works, but these kids couldn't possibly care less.

When I came across this story, I sighed out loud and thought to myself that it's just not the holiday season until some idiot, or group of idiots, decides that Santa needs a good butt-kicking.

You're not officially in the Christmas spirit until you've had a chance to go on a train ride with Santa Claus.

Sometimes we need modern technology to help create holiday magic!

anta Claus will arrive in Rockford for the 2017 Christmas season on Friday, in what will be an all new 'Santa Experience!'

I mentioned in a post yesterday that Santa Claus is coming to Rockford in December to have breakfast at Nicholas Conservatory with his many admirers. As someone who grew up in this area, the highlight for me as a kid was our annual pilgrimage to Colonial Village Mall to meet up with Santa at Weise's.

As a kid, I looked forward to the holiday season for many of the usual kid reasons: Christmas vacation from school, holiday presents and decorations, and coming up to Rockford to have breakfast with Santa Claus at Chas V. Weise's in Colonial Village Mall.
