ON THE COVER:

Can the holidays really be upon us again?

It seems like just yesterday that I was

dashing through the mall with a one-

track mind, crying all the way, looking for

last-minute gifts.

Ah, the thrill of the chase.

I’m sure I’ll wait until the last minute again

this year. Maybe I should take note of some

national trends.

Nearly 57 percent of those celebrating the

holidays had already started shopping by early

this month, up from 54 percent last year and 49 percent

in 2008, according to the National Retail Federation’s

November consumer survey.

I’ve always assumed holiday-induced procrastination

is more of a guy issue. I could be on to something. The

federation states in its survey that 58.4 percent of women

have already started checking off their holiday lists,

compared to 54.6 percent of men.

The most popular items on people’s gift

lists: 60.3 percent will purchase apparel or cloth-

ing accessories; 46.2 percent said they will pur-

chase books, CDs, DVDs and/or video games,

and 41.2 percent said they will buy toys; 21.8

percent will buy jewelry and 30.5 percent will

buy food and/or candy, according to the survey.

While the malls might already be bustling,

Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, is the

traditional starting gate for the retail race. In

today's centerpiece you’ll find events across Southern Indiana celebrating the holidays.

So take a break and enjoy family and friends. The mad dash through the mall can wait.

CLARKSVILLE — Derby Dinner Playhouse is performing “Jack Frost Saves Christmas” through Dec. 21 as part of its Children’s Musical Theatre Series.

Father Winter can no longer continue his important weather work and when he retires he leaves a magical young boy, Jack, to carry on his winter responsibilities. At the North Pole, a spirited group of winter animals discover Jack and soon realize he is not like other children and that he has some very special icy abilities. The animals decide to bring him to Christmastown where Jack experiences the town in holiday hysterics over an ever-growing heat wave caused by Father Winter’s absence. As Christmas Eve arrives, Jack discovers and accepts his talents and in doing so saves Christmas.

“Jack Frost Saves Christ-mas” is under the direction of Tina Jo Wallace. The cast includes Lem Jackson, Bill Hanna, Carly Stotts, Sandra Rivera, David Myers and J.R. Stuart. The book and lyrics for this production were written by Matt and Tina Jo Wallace and the music was composed by Scott Bradley. Musical numbers featured are “Searching for

Me,” “Countdown to Christ-mas,” “Frost!” and more.

All public performances of “Jack Frost Saves Christ-mas” are on Saturdays with Breakfast at 9 a.m. and lunch at noon. A breakfast and lunch performance has also been added on Friday, Nov. 27.
