Dec. 19: Santa Makes His Last Rounds Before the Big Day

Santa will be making the following appearances today, probably a few of the last times he'll be seen around town before he sneaks down your chimney:

1. Atlantis Marine World - For the second day in a row, he'll be dropping by Atlantis for breakfast at 10:00, and a second appearance at 11:45.  We're still wondering how he'll make the 11:45, because...
2. Bistro 72 - The restaurant at Hotel Indigo on W Main Street is hosting brunch from 10:30 - 2:30. The full can be found here. Children's plates are half of the $32.95 price (+ tax) for adults.
3. St. John the Baptist Ukranian Church - Today, St. Nick will visit the kids of the church and bring presents early. After - as seems to be the course today - he'll stick around for a meal.

What else?:

4. April Pokorny brings a new today on the gift that keeps on giving throughout the years. A present we come back to in our minds, and if we can't remember, we dig it up - a book. Stay tuned for her latest column. 

5. In ',' our pet columnist Ashley Wilbourn throws out some gift ideas for those of you who haven't got your pet anything yet. Because you know if you don't, your dog will just be chewing up your new pair of socks in no time.
