5 Things: End of the World, Holiday Hours & Supporting Newtown

1.  Want to show your support to the families of Newtown? The First Baptist Church in Wickford will be delivering bears to the Newtown Parent Connection for distribution to siblings, parents, family and friends who have lost loved ones following last week's shooting. .

2.  Own a business in North Kingstown? Let us help promote your holiday hours! Click here to post your holiday hours for Christmas and New Year's and we'll be happy to include you in our "Open/Closed" article for the holidays.

3.  It's the last chance to catch Santa before Christmas. Stop by Home Depot's garden center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Enjoy hot cocoa, popcorn and candy canes too! Bring your camera to take a picture with Santa.

4.  According to interpretations of the Mayan calendar, today is the end of the world. Please plan accordingly.

5.  Today: showers with highs near 51 and windy. Tonight: scattered showers with mostly cloudy skies and lows around 35. Tomorrow: a chance of snow showers in the morning with rain later in the day and highs near 43.
