The Christmas decorations are up in downtown Lincoln. Windows are dressed for the holidays, and things are looking bright. This weekend, Main Street Lincoln is once again sponsoring Small Business Saturday in Lincoln. Be sure to drop in at some of the local small businesses and check out all the great things they have to offer. Also, according to a very reliable source, Santa is coming to Lincoln in grand fashion for this year's Christmas parade. In addition, his new ride will have room for a guest. Kids are invited to enter to win a ride with Santa during the parade. Read more about this, as well as Small Business Saturday, in the story below.

Denver Nuggets guard Ty Lawson, right, tries to steal the ball from Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose in the second half of an NBA basketball game on Thursday in Denver. The Nuggets won 97-87. Rose was injured Friday night at Portland, a huge setback for him and the organization. Doctors expect Rose to make a full recovery, but the latest injury raises big questions about whether they should continue to build around him as their cornerstone player.
