This week, we’re slamming the brakes on Thanksgiving leftovers and flooring it straight into Christmas. I’m giving you the quick-and-dishy Thanksgiving recap, the scoop on Santa’s big arrival at Town Center, and a formal announcement: I’m fully, unapologetically in holiday mode. Plus — Rancho Simi swim lesson gift cards might just be the most practical stocking stuffer of the year.
Weekend events are stacked: the International Christmas Crèche, Redbirds Vision blanket drive, holiday open house at Strathern Historical Park, Wizard of Oz Junior, and… pup pics with Santa!
And Aldi? She delivered. Spa goodies, the hottest stocking stuffers for kids, cozy men’s PJs — basically a self-care sleigh ride down every aisle.
