After a lovely girls’ pre-holiday wine night last night, the countdown to Christmas is on!
Don’t forget to check out our collection of Gift Guides, plus this handy list to make you the most popular guest at your holiday gathering (read: Best Booze to Bring To Christmas).
I’m pretty much moving into the Capital City Mall again to help you last-minute shoppers! Stop by the Torchbearer Sauces kiosk today, Friday or Saturday, I’ll get you set-up with an easy-pleasing gift set (or maybe something for yourself).
My nights are free and yet unplanned! I’m definitely in the mood for some holiday-themed ideas, and fortunately there are loads of going on this weekend, both family friendly and adults-only, plus some regular ol’ stuff for the Scrooge in you.
Need more inspiration? Tune in tomorrow morning at 7:10 a.m. to Glenn & Bob on The River 97.3 for “Sara’s Weekend Picks.”
