I’ve got some exciting news to share for this post-Thanksgiving weekend with just two words:

Live Reindeers!

To kick off the post-Thanksgiving holiday shopping season, Smarty Pants is teaming up with Chalet Nursery in Wilmette, Illinois for their Holiday Family Celebration.

Live reindeer arrive from the North Pole this Saturday November 27th, 2010 and Sunday November 28th straight from the North Pole to lovely Wilmette.

Plus holiday balloon twisting by Smarty Pants, holiday face painting by Miss Dena, hot cocoa & cider, cookies and s’mores – it all adds up to the best holiday kickoff celebration this side of the North Pole.

Date & Time: Sat November 27th from 11 am to 3 pm

Sunday November 28th from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm
