Now that Thanksgiving is past and we are all stuffed with turkey, we can get ready for Christmas. This year will be a bit different. Try to make it a bit brighter, too.

The Quail has found events he will check out and share with you.

The 1st Sandhills Middle School Christmas Tree Lighting will be Friday at 5 pm with snacks and give-a-ways for families.

They will accept donations for lights in honor of someone special. Bring a chair, blanket and a bell to ring for Santa. For details contact the school at 803- 490-7005.

The Town of North plans a drive-thru wave at Santa and drop-off letters to Santa Sunday 5 - 7 pm at the Town Pavilion and Square. The Police and Fire Department will escort Santa to the event.
