It’s time for you to Be Claus

1 week to go until Thanksgiving. I can taste the turkey and dressing already! And once it’s all said and done, the holiday season can truly begin. To get in the spirit, why not write a letter to santa and take it to Macy’s this year? All Macy’s department stores have special Believe Santa Mail mailboxes out to put in Santa letters and for every one they recieve they’ll donate $1 to the Make a Wish Foundation (up to $1 million). And don’t worry, the letters still get taken to the Post Office for North Pole delivery. :)

Also on the Macy’s Believe site, they have additional fun and games. You can read the Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus letter and response, find a location to drop off your letter and Be Claus. Last year, everyone knew about the elves. Will this year’s internet sensation be Santa? See how I turned myself into Santa here…

Have cabin fever? Come to a treasure hunt for adults on Jan. 10 [things to do]

GPS device

With the economy spiraling seemingly out of control, many people would do anything for a little treasure. On Saturday, Jan. 10, the Centerville-Washington Park District is attempting to give parkgoers just that. Grant Park, 501 Normandy Ridge Road in Centerville, is hosting an event called Cabin Fever Cache, offering a reason to get into the great outdoors despite cold temperatures. The event revolves around geocaching, a growing trend that is part time capsule, part treasure hunt. Think it sounds like something only a few nerdy, tree-hugging types might be into? Think again.
