Send A Letter From Santa To Your Child with the US Postal Service
|
It’s That Time of the Year Again
Something fun for the holidays for the cost of a stamp. A letter from Santa post marked from the North Pole. And all it costs is your time and a stamp. This is a yearly program offered by the US Postal Service.
The deadline for 2017 is December 15th. I suggest mailing the letter by Friday, December 7th. Read the complete post on SiliconValleyMom.com

| Free Cookware for Victims of NorCal Fires from the Meyer Corp. |
Making the holiday season a bit brighter for residents of Napa and Sonoma counties and other areas in Northern California who have lost homes during the recent wildfires, Meyer Corporation, U.S. is donating a set of cookware during its popular 21st annual holiday Factory Outlet Sale, open now through Monday, December 11th.
One set of cookware will be gifted to each household that visits the Factory Outlet Sale at either Meyer’s Fairfield or Vallejo Outlet Store locations. To receive the donation, fire victims will need to present satisfactory documentary proof of loss of their home, such as an insurance claim form. This offer is limited to one set of cookware per lost home.
If you don’t recognize the company name, I think you will like the brands: Anolon®, Circulon®, Hestan Nanobond™, Ruffoni®, Breville®, Farberware®, BonJour®, Rachael Ray®, Cake Boss™, Ayesha Curry®, Paula Deen® and SilverStone®.

| End of Year Planning – Doctor, Optometrist and Dental Appointments |
End of Year DOD (Doctor, Optometrist, Dentist)
Here is your reminder that the end of year is coming soon. Now is the time for make appointments for check ups for doctors, optometrists and dentists. Also, if you have kids coming home from college for the holidays – make theirs too!
Lastly for year end planning, take a look at FSA accounts (medical and child care), deadlines and carry overs for 2018. If you have money to spend, I always suggest first aid kits. |
| Check Out Steve Martin’s Bright Star Now at the Curran Theater SF |
 Bright Star at the Curran closes on December 17th. Check out my review on our sister site, SiliconValleyMom.com.
Bright Star at the Curran San Francisco
I recommend Bright Star for ages 12 and above because of a certain scene which I can’t describe without spoiling the plot. Also because some of the dialogue might not be understood for younger kids.
Bright Star is playing at the Curran Theater now through December 17, 2017. Buy tickets here. |
| Low Cost Laptops and Desktops from Comcast |
 Did you know that if you qualify for Internet Essentials from Comcast, you can purchase a laptop or desk top computer for $149.99?The holidays are here and I spent hours trying to find a good deal on a laptop for my teen. So I can say that $150 for a laptop is a great deal.
