Alright, listen up, you holiday hooligans...

It’s me, Bad Santa - Ryan took the week off - and I'm here to remind you that most of you have been on my naughty list all year. Yeah, I know what you’ve been up to. But lucky for you, I’m in the giving mood—or at least my PR team says I should be. So here’s the deal: this weekend is packed with tree lightings, parades, and all the holiday magic you can handle. Don’t blow it. Get out there and support your local whatever!

When you support our local shops and restaurants, they stick around, which means I don’t have to haul gifts from the North Pole for every last one of you. You’re making it easier for me to keep things festive, reduce your carbon footprint AND easier for your neighbors to make a living. Win-win, right?

If you’re not out there supporting your local small businesses, you might as well be shoving coal in your neighbors’ stockings. It’s Small Business Season, not “fill up Jeff Bezos’ yacht fund” season. Every dollar you spend locally keeps this town running and me from sliding a lump of coal as an IOU into your stocking.

Here’s what’s up across Babylon Town this weekend:

 🎄Holiday Events: Tree lightings? Check. Parades? Double check. Santa sightings? Obviously—I’ve got appearances to make, though don’t expect me to smile. Full schedule at ILoveBabylon.com/events.

🎅 Small Business Season: You like your coffee shops? Your favorite gift boutiques? Well, support them, or they might not be here next year. Don’t make me spell this out for you.

🎥 Movies and Shows: Hit up the local cinemas and theaters. The popcorn’s fresh, the local actors are talented and the seats don’t come with a 30-minute drive. No excuses.

And there's LOTS more happening - too much for me to tell you all about here cuz I'm busy this time of year - that's why you go to the ILoveBabylon.com/events website link to see all the events or check out this blog post of my picks for this weekend.

I’m watching you,
Bad Santa 🎅
 

P.S. Remember, Santa’s always watching... so behave. I see you when you're sleeping, blah, blah, blah.
