At our house St. Nick fills our stockings the night of December 5th. Google “St. Nick” if you’ve never heard of this tradition. I’ve narrowed it down to a German/Catholic thing. We also tell our kids that St. Nick is one of Santa Claus’ helpers. We actually leave the kids’ Christmas wish list out for
I really enjoyed taking my kids to see the Shillito’s Elves at Newport on the Levee. And yesterday I gave away a 4-pack of tickets on my Facebook page. Today? Two more tickets to give away. Comment below to enter and I’ll pick a winner around 10:00 tonight. Then
