Cha-ching! (12-6)

We can't get confirmation about chestnuts roasting on an open fire at Molbak's Garden & Home in Woodinville, Wash., but the rest of the holiday trappings are definitely in place. Just check out the December calendar:

There's the annual Festival of Poinsettias, complimentary Danish Kringles and hot beverages, snapshots with Santa, live holiday music, and all sorts of tasty lunch/dinner/snack options for customers who browse the store's vast Christmas gift area.

Indeed, if Santa himself were to choose to relocate headquarters, chances are very good that he would give a big "Ho, Ho, Ho!" to a move to Woodinville -- specifically to Molbak's, where he would discover thousands of good little boys and girls and thousands more good big boys and girls eagerly waiting to see what his bag of goodies contains.

Given that we love festive places, we highly recommend that you include a visit to Molbak's in any plans you have when you travel to the Great Northwest, especially during the holidays. Trust us on this one, you'll not only see "Cha-ching!" personified, you'll learn a few ways to bring it home in the process.
