As the season fast approaches, Christmas trees are being secured, families are planning for their yearly feast and merchants are tapping into the spirit with festive creativity.

At Oasis, Chic Living on East Shirley Street, Santa’s Babies are out in the sun – a far cry from the cold of the North Pole – and showing their gratitude by offering season’s greetings and candy canes. If they’re slowing traffic down in the early morning rush, drivers don’t seem to mind one bit.
