christmas 2014

Little kids sitting on Santa's lap at the mall is as much a part of the holiday season as egg nog and ugly sweaters, but it's an experience one autistic girl never got to enjoy.

What's in a name? That's a question Santa Claus himself should be asking when looking at who's been naughty and nice this year.

Don't you just love the holidays?  The decorations, the music, the joy and Santa Claus.  The kids want to have time with Santa and what better way to do it, than Breakfast with Santa.  Breakfast with Santa has become a tradition with the Discovery Center.

If you think you're seeing more police than normal on the streets, you ain't trippin', their has been an increase in officers on patrol.  It's called the Safe Shopper Project,and it's assigned through December 26th here in Amarillo.  Holiday shopping can be dangerous, in my case it's dangerous because I didn't pay a bill so I could buy gifts...

It's that time again!  Beginning to look a lot like KISSMAS. If you know a family needing help this holiday season, you can nominate them now for the KISSMAS wishlist!

While we were out ringing the bell for Salvation Army today at Westgate Mall, we decided to bust out some traditional Christmas carols, and we had this random dude join us for a three-way of fun!

We decided to do some Christmas carols today while we were at Westgate Mall, ringing the bell for Salvation Army.  We thought about how we see bell ringers just ringing, wishing people a merry Christmas...and that's not our style.  So we did some REMIXING!

If you have friends or family who love to bake then this would make the perfect gift for the holiday.  I love to bake and I love to use premium vanilla extract in my dishes.  As I was wasting time on the internet one day I came across a recipe for homemade vanilla extract.  So I thought what the heck.  I'll try it out.  So here is how you make homemade vanilla extract.

The latest shot in the battle to make people accept and love their bodies has been fired by a doll that could very well turn the toy industry on its ear.

For the first time, Amarillo puts on the 6th Street Christmas Decoration Challenge, asking all businesses up and down 6th between Georgia & Western to participate.

Last week, three-year-old Gracie Wilson from Henderson, KY, thought she was meeting a celebrity. Little did she and her family know that by this week, she would be famous!

With the cold and snow that we got over the weekend, my first thought was hot cocoa!  It is easy to buy the instant cocoa packets, but I have a recipe that is just as simple and you'll love it!
