Thinking Outside the Box for Holiday Giving

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nipping at your nose. Yuletide carols being sung by a choir. And an uncontrollable uptick in your buying habits.

Rudolph Answered the Christmas Call

There is a magic to the holidays that often is associated with our memories of family traditions. It is possible to carry some of the traditions forward, such as rituals for meals, gift giving and holiday activities. Others fade away until an old photo is discovered or a memory is recalled. In the case of Easton’s holiday traditions, many may remember in the 1960s and 1970s when Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer sat atop Talbottown’s roof at Christmas time, taking the calls of hundreds of children across the Shore who wanted to connect their Christmas wishes to Santa.

Kidsave “Miracles” Family Visit Program

This Advent/Christmas Season the Greaney Family, of Easton, is hosting Edwin, an 11-year-old child from Bogota, Colombia. Through their volunteer work with Kidsave, the Greaney family’s job is to introduce older children in orphanages and foster care to people who might adopt them. What makes Edwin’s Christmas visit so important is his need to find a permanent family. Read more about Kidsave “Miracles” Family Visit Program ...
