My daughter lost her tooth yesterday. Thea came home from school and was excited to show us all.  After “the showing” Thea proudly took her tooth and put it under her pillow. For the rest of the day we had to hear about “the Tooth Fairy coming tonight”.
I wrote an article just before Christmas which featured the I Caught Santa website and knew that they had different characters at the Catch a Character website, specifically the Tooth Fairy for this very occasion. So, last night I tiptoed into Thea’s room and took a picture of [...]

On the heel’s of Audrey’s story about fun websites that help create some Christmas magic, Steven, the principal at ICaughtSanta.com offered up some hard to resist “I caught Santa” photos for our readers. EIGHT of them. I know that we are real close to Christmas, but the “catching Santa in the act” photo process is almost instant, so you still have time to enter…and get your picture. Three little steps. Well, four:

When I think of The Wizard of Oz, I usually only think of it as a political and economic allegory about the status industrial society at the end of the 19th century. This is where Oz and the Yellow Brick Road represent gold, the Tin Man represents the industrial worker, the Scarecrow is the Farmer, the Lion the politician, the Munchkins are the ordinary citizens, etc..
