SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Christmas may be over but Santa is still making news as he was recently arrested for drunken driving in Post Falls.

We love Santa. We really do! He's probably the coolest old guy we know, spending his life making presents, managing elves and eating cookies. Truth be told, we're sort of jealous. The jolly old guy usually looks bright and cheery and not all that scary, which is yet another reason we're fans.

This past Saturday, SantaCon took over New York City. For all of you unfamiliar with this classic American holiday, it's an entire day dedicated to dressing up like Santa Claus and getting a little crazy frolicking around with fellow Saint Nick look-a-likes.

Does this happen to you?  Every time I try to write about Santa, it tells me I'm spelling his name wrong.  What the hell?  Literally.

When Chris Burd was 13-years-old he went to the mall in Maplewood, Minn during Christmas time. He was with his three-year-old sister, and to appease her he also sat on the lap of the mall's Santa Claus and asked for gifts. Fast forward 13 years. Chris had recently become engaged when he got a call from his mother who tells him she had made an interesting discovery while going through a batch of ol

What's worse than a news anchor blabbing on live TV that Santa isn't real? How about a Texas kindergarten teacher revealing the terrible truth about Saint Nick to her entire class of five-year-olds? Yep, that actually happened.

One of the best parts about the holiday season is when Santa comes to town for a visit. Every single year, he makes his rounds to American shopping malls so little kids (and adults-- we’re guilty) can have an up-close-and-personal gift-begging session with the guy...

The classic Christmas song goes: You better watch out, You better not cry, You better not pout, I'm telling you why: Santa Claus is coming to town. That jolly old elf Santa Claus and his helpers are making their way through the Magic valley. Find out where Santa will be with our handy holiday Magic Valley Santa Tracker.
