Christmas

Technically, since the deer are controlling the sleigh, maybe Santa could manage just fine with a beer or two. Now, if he partakes in every home that lines him up with one, then we'd have a huge problem in the sky on Christmas Eve.

Holiday leftovers are very popular in our home. We sometimes have enough leftover food to eat for another week following Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, but some of these foods pose a massive potential health risk if not thrown out sooner than later.

I wanted to see if the lasers were powerful enough to light up Balanced Rock, and what I saw after switching on the projectors still gives me chills when I think of it, even though the photographs don't do the experience justice.

In all my years living in Twin Falls, I've seen a great deal of holiday spirit. In my opinion, the best way to identify holiday spirit relates to decorations.
