    Props to the Santa and volunteers at Holy Rosary on Saturday. We took our daughter, and it was absolutely worth the canned food donation. Hardly crowded, friendly, great Santa, free, and able to take our own photos! Hope this happens again next year–so much better donating to a food bank and participating in a community event rather than waiting in line and spending big bucks at a mall.

Sorry, comment time is over.
