Jolly Ole Saint Nick Will Make His Exciting Return to Rockford in 2 Weeks

As soon as the calendar flips to November we get bombarded with Christmas stuff. Christmas commercials, Christmas music, Christmas events, they have all already started, and honestly, I don't mind it one bit.

I absolutely adore everything about the holiday season, and as a parent with two young children, I'd be lying if I said that I don't enjoy being able to use the "Santa's watching" warning again. I actually used it for the first time this season yesterday, and it worked like a charm.

Is it still too early to use the Santa threat? Some folks might say yes, but the CherryVale Mall would definitely say no because they have been preparing for the big guy's arrival for over a week now!
