Guess Who's on His Way!

Yikes - it's hard to believe Christmas is just around the corner! Don't forget that Santa Claus comes to town tomorrow night in a parade of lights that's more fun than a barrel of leiderhosen! It starts at dark thirty, but it's best to park your truck (if you have one) on Main Street in the first open spot you see (it may take a while), and leave it there till the parade. (You can shop while you wait for the lights to turn on or better yet visit a biergarten). Bring a blanket and some hot chocolate, it's always cold for this event. Afterward you can go to Weinachten for more bier, hot chocolate and fun. Don't miss the dancing and performances put on by the kids at Miss Rhonda's school of dance - it's a tap and ballet o-rama! Sometimes we get lucky and the mayor and some of his buddies also put on a holiday musicale, which is always top-notch, don't know if that's happening this year...
Check out the cool holiday goodies you can send to someone you love (or you can treat yourself) from http://www.dancingdeer.com/. Click on philanthropy on the home page and it will lead you to the Sweet Home Project, which donates 35% of its proceeds to help families move out of poverty, permanently. We got some at the office and they are yummy dee. It's a great to know that while you're stuffing your face with holiday goodies, you're also helping someone else out. And let's face it, we're all going to eat the goodies anyway, 'tis the season and all. (Isn't it great that we have the opportunity to make New Year's resolutions right after the holidays - a coincidence? I think not.)
