Are you gearing up to let your fingers do the walking on Cyber Monday?
North Shore residents who don’t want to brave the crowds on Black Friday or Small Business Saturday still have one more big chance to save courtesy of Cyber Monday. Similar to the two other major shopping events, Cyber Monday differs in that consumers don’t have to leave the comfort of their own homes (or offices) to take advantage of some pretty big pre-holiday deals. All the bargains laid out for Cyber Monday are for online shoppers only. So how can you find the best deals online this Cyber Monday? While most major retailers that have an online presence aren’t tipping their hats on their online deals just yet, many have splash pages set up that they're inviting shoppers to bookmark in advance of the Nov. 26 shopping holiday. Here are …
How much is too much to spend on children and teens? We want to hear your thoughts, Northbrook.
As the holiday shopping season goes into full swing, some people are maxing out their credit cards to pay for presents and others are setting budgets and sticking with them. Scour just about any Facebook stream or stop in a local coffee shop and chances are you’ll hear parents debating the merits of setting spending limits. Or, you'll hear them lamenting about just how much they've already spent. The ideas for a perfect limit do seem to vary rather greatly. Some parents say $100 per child is more than enough. Others tend to lean toward much more generous figures. After all, there’s nothing like seeing a child’s eyes light up as they unwrap gift after gift. And that’s what we want to hear from you about, Northbrook! Do you set spending …

Children run to see the Man in Red; he greets mayor and flicks tree-lighting switch.
Santa had no reindeer, but some pretty impressive wheels Saturday, arriving at Golf Mill Shopping Center in a shiny red firetruck and riding through the mall in a Ford Mustang. Children ran to greet him as soon as he got off the firetruck, and walked with him as he made his way to the lobby near JCPenney. There, he greeted Golf Mill staff and Mayor Robert Callero as a gathered crowd looked on. "I took your picture and put it on my tie," quipped Callero, motioning to his holiday neckpiece. Earlier: See the indoor Christmas tree forest To the crowd, the mayor said, "We wish you all the joys of the holiday season. I'll say please shop at the mall." With that, Santa walked over to a special light switch and, with the crowd watching, flipped a …
