In the Motherhood: Is 8 p.m. an Appropriate Time to Out Santa?
Last night, I couldn't wait to tune into what likely will be ABC's new hit, In the Motherhood. But, before I could settle into my seat, Santa was outed. Moments into the premiere, Emily told her two young children — Esther and Bill — that St.
Do You Use Santa as a Threat?
We all know the story about the kid who got a lump of coal for Christmas. But, the other day I was out shopping and overheard a mom telling her son that if he didn't get back in the stroller she'd call Santa. The lil guy was sick of shopping and just wanted to go home.
Roundup: Santa and His Elves
It may be too late to revamp this year's holiday decor, but that isn't stopping me from scoping out modern Santa and elven accents to add to my arsenal. If you celebrate Christmas, don't think for a second that the traditional Clausian iconography has to be tacky.

As a child, I always liked finding my presents under the tree, but one of my friends used to scour her house until she located her loot, then she'd tear a corner and take a peek. After, she re-wrapped them so her parents wouldn't notice and acted surprised on Christmas morning.
Ho! Ho! D'oh!
Santa decided to play favorites this year and make an extra special visit to one lucky household. He opted to skip the sketch-ball chimney routine this time around and shimmy off the roof to make a dignified, standing entrance — or a large dent in the family Suburban. Same difference.
Good Riddance, Santa Claus!
Christmas has come and gone. It's now time to put away the stockings, the farting Santas, the tree, the obnoxious front-yard inflatables, and the outdoor light show. It's also time to do away with the under-shaved Santa Claus hanging around the local shopping mall.
