I've been updating my Black Friday 2009 article as new information rolls in, and this week it is finally complete. Find the opening hour for all of the major local stores and malls, and find the ads for those stores on the sites I've linked to in my Black Friday Tips article (Check It Out).

Please, help us. My sister and I are coming from Georgia to visit my niece and her two very young children (8 months and 2 years old), and I am bringing my two tweens. We want to know which malls or shopping areas we should check out that would appeal to them all. I am hoping for train rides, fantastic decorations, sitting on Santa's lap, etc. My niece and husband are stationed at Ft Knox, so they are not very familiar with Louisville, although this summer we did find the zoo!

I would definitely encourage you to check out The Summit. This holiday season, they're offering photos with Santa and sleigh rides for the kids. It's a strip mall, and the outside is all decorated with Christmas lights. Plus, they have a Build-A-Bear Workshop and several baby/toddler clothing shops like Gymboree and Baby GAP.

For the tweens, there are a ton of stores at The Summit that they'll want to check out: Express, GAP, Old Navy, and Hollister, among others. Also, there is a Barnes and Noble for everyone to enjoy and lots of really great restaurants. While all of the malls are doing something for Christmas, The Summit seems to have the biggest selection for a group with people of all ages like yours (Visit Their Website).

Each week until Christmas, I'm going to blog about a Louisville charity that I admire and support. If you're thinking about giving to a worthwhile cause this holiday season, I hope you'll consider donating to these organizations.

The Kentucky Humane Society is a local nonprofit agency that provides a number of services for animals and animal lovers alike. In addition to providing shelter to unwanted animals and finding homes for those animals through the adoption process, the Kentucky Humane Society also offers behavior training classes, spaying and neutering clinics, pet boarding, and animal rescue, among other services.

There are a number of ways that you can give to the Kentucky Humane Society. Like any charity, they accept monetary donations, but they also accept donations of much needed items, such as cat litter, newspaper, bleach, crib mattresses, and grooming supplies, among others. You could also get a Kentucky Humane Society Visa Card and support the charity just by using the card to make purchases.

The Kentucky Humane Society is an admirable organization that has been around for a long time, and I hope the animal lovers out there will support the organization and all of the unwanted animals housed there this Christmas season (Visit Their Website).
