"What should I do today?" Through the holiday season there are a lot of activities going on. Make a list, plan your shopping, eat out to avoid cooking, and save gas and time by taking advantage of all the things you can find locally...

Monday

• Have you ordered those HSLC Christmas Cookies yet? Time is running out. Call 732-1979.

• Ward 5 residents: This is your last day to get those leaves hauled away by the city.

• Give a gift that will save a life this holiday season: Donate blood at the drive today at the Masonic Center, noon to 6 p.m.

• Dr. Dan will speak tonight about the brain and Alzheimer's disease.

• Take in "Monday Night Football" on the big screen at LINCOLN THEATER -- tonight, Giants vs. Redskins.

Lunch hour shopping:

It's time to set out that Christmas village. This year treat yourself to a new piece from BEANS & SUCH.

Then, take a short walk down the street to DICKSON'S TACOS AND MORE and grab a quick and tasty lunch.

Tuesday

• Tuesday with Santa at the Lincoln Public Library Annex, 5-6:30 p.m.  ATTENTION, PARENTS: YOU MUST CALL NO LATER THAN NOON TO REGISTER YOUR CHILD, 732-5732. 

Lunch hour shopping:

National Rent to Own is the go-to place for gaming systems! If you have a gamer on your list, be sure to drop in and see what Roger has to offer.

When you're finished, stop in at HALLIE'S and grab a schnitzel to go!
