Happy Holidays! 

It is hard to believe another holiday season is already here!

Buying local is so important; our Holiday Gift Guide has made it easy for you this year! Check out all our Holiday Deals and Steals from local stores and attractions. If you love to give experiences, you will have lots of options to pick from this year! Did you know that Disney on Ice, Toughest Monster Trucks, and Blippi are all coming to Sioux Falls soon?! Keep an eye on 'hood's social media, as we will be giving away tickets to these shows! 

Do you have a favorite holiday tradition you do every year? One of my family favorites is to go see Santa at the mall and cut down our Christmas tree! We usually spend forever looking for the biggest tree we can find, only to realize it is too big to fit inside when we get home!  

You can find an article about a local family's holiday tradition of visiting Nora Store in this issue. People come together in this old country store every year to sing Christmas carols. I grew up only 20 minutes from Nora Store in Alcester! Check out this hidden treasure on the prairie. 

Have a great Holiday Season!
