Santa

That tradition of visiting Santa, waiting in line, then paying way too much for pictures can be a frustrating part of the holiday rush.  It can also be something special.  It was this year.

The Google Santa Tracker has already launched, and Bing is not far behind with their high tech NORAD radar tracker. Don't they know he's at Boise Towne Square already?  We've seen him at the Village at Meridian and in Nampa too.  But here's how we can officially track him.

After your child writes that heartfelt letter to Santa requesting Hatchimals and iPads, he or she can drop it in the mail instead of setting near the mantle and waiting for Santa to pick it up at Christmas.  With a little help from Mom or Dad, the kids can get a personalized letter back, with the North Pole postmark.

I'm sure we are not the only ones who have been through it. The nightmare that happens when the lil ones are afraid of the Big Man in Red.

I got to hang out with Santa tonight! He was taking FREE pictures outside of the Albertsons on Vista with the Coca Cola Holiday Caravan! They are only in Boise until Sunday, so if you want to stop by for your free photos and signature Coca Cola polar bear stuffed animal, here are the remaining Albertsons locations...

Santa is coming to town! And by town, we mean the Village at Meridian!

Many years ago, my wife started a tradition of getting Christmas ornaments hand made and painted with all 9 members of our family represented.  I originally thought it was kinda dorky, but now I have to admit, it's pretty cool, .Take a look at some of the ornaments from the past few years.

According to a survey two thirds of families will fight over the holidays, and according to that same survey, this is the exact peak time for those fights.

MIX 106's JD had the Xmas spirit while broadcasting and hanging out with the Coca-Cola Santa Clause at the Wal-Mart on State St. MIX 106 listeners were able to have their photo taken and printed out for them right there, with Santa. There was free Polar Bear plush toys and collectible coke bottles with a holiday sweater around the bottle...

There is no one else like Santa. He delivers toys to all the children in the world in one night! Check out the responses of kids when asked if a woman could do Santa's job.
