Santa Kicks Off Christmas at LITE-FM; Brings Stockings Full of Gifts for You

You've been asking us for weeks "When is the Christmas music coming to 107.9 LITE-FM" and believe me when I say it was THE hardest secret to keep!

But if I told you, then Santa would have put me on his naughty list and then none of you would've gotten your Christmas music! We couldn't have that, right?!  Since Jen, Jeff, Delilah, John Tesh and I were such good "kids" we made the nice list this year and Santa brought us a ton of stockings for us to gift to you as we kick off continuous Christmas favorites!

Once we become The Treasure Valley's Official Christmas Music Station at 7 a.m! To celebrate we'll give away a stocking every hour for the rest of my show! Here's a preview of what you can grab from underneath our tree today!

7 a.m.: Experience the 2C Stocking

Well, if you haven't figured it out by now the REAL reason that we're so excited about being at Indian Creek Plaza's "Winter Wonderland Festival" tonight is because today is the official kick-off of continuous Christmas favorites on LITE-FM! We want you to come experience the official kick off of the holidays in Canyon County with this special Christmas stocking! We're pushing back the LITE-FM pop quiz today until 7:40! If you get two of the three silly easy questions I give you about something happening in pop culture or the news this morning, we'll hook you up with a stocking that includes two free passes for skating at the brand new Ice Ribbon in Indian Creek Plaza, four passes for the family to enjoy the Canyon County Festival of Trees at the Ford Idaho Center and $50 to enjoy dinner at Indian Creek Steak House!

8 a.m.: Royal Winter Ball Stocking

You've met our friends from Capes & Crowns at the Canyon County Kids Expo and Boise Music Festival, haven't you? Their beautiful princesses have gotten together to plan a very special day full of magic at JUMP on January 12! Ten of your child's favorite princesses will be hosting a day of photo-ops, crafts, face painting, sing-a-longs and more! We have a pair of tickets for a special "Mommy and Me" day at their Royal Winter Ball in this stocking! Win those and some special princess goodies for the princess in your life!

9 a.m.: Family Fun Stocking

Our friend Tiffany from Wahooz and Pinz will be joining us in the 9 a.m. hour to give away a very special stocking stuffed with four Ultimate Unlimited Passes for Wahooz and Pinz, four tickets to Breakfast with Santa at the Canyon County Festival of Trees and $50 worth of gift certificates to treat the family to an awesome meal from Smokey Mountain Pizzeria Grille! She'll also let you know about the awesome Black Friday Deals happening at Wahooz in case you need some stocking stuffers and how you can plan your company's holiday party in the brand new Galaxy Events Center!

10 a.m.: Chocolat Bar Stocking

I first met the folks at the Chocolat Bar during a "cash mob" in Downtown Boise and it was love at first taste! If you're looking for a mouth watering chocolate treat to add to your company's gift exchange, look no further than Boise's own chocolatiers at the Chocolat Bar on Bannock! This stocking includes a $50 gift certificate, one pound of their decadent variety chocolates, peppermint bark and four holiday truffles!

11 a.m.: Three Wine Men Stocking

Let's be honest ladies! Sometime the holidays can get stressful with all the pressure to have the perfect tree, decorations and gifts. You deserve some down time and a chance to exhale during the Christmas season! Do that with two passes to the extremely exclusive "Paint and Sip" night at the Canyon County Festival of Trees, a bottle of Ste. Chapelle's Soft Red and a wine glass that understands that "Elf on the Shelf" drives you to drink!

12 p.m.: Silk Touch Med Spa Stocking

After braving the crowds at the mall, wrapping all the gifts and baking all those cookies, LITE-FM and our friends at Silk Touch Med Spa feel like you deserve a chance to pamper yourself! Do that with this stocking that includes a FREE microdermabrasion treatment and Visia skin analysis, Elta MD Skin Care UV lotion and lip balm to keep you protected on the slopes, Epionce restorative hand cream to re-hydrate that dry winter skin, Lalicious whipped sugar scrubs in three holiday scents and Silk Touch's exfoliating skin pads!

1 p.m.: Stretch Lab Stocking

Our friends at Stretch Lab are gearing up for their grand opening and couldn't wait to say hello to our LITE-FM listeners with this special stocking! I hate to admit this, but as I get older and more sedentary at work, I can feel how sore I am getting up to walk to the break room down the hall.  Certainly, you never thought your muscles would get tight from being in the office, but it happens whether we like it or not! Luckily Stretch Lab has trained "flexologists" to loosen up those stiff muscles so you can experience maximum mobility at work and play! This stocking includes a free one-on-one 25 minute stretch and some cool Stretch Lab swag including a tote bag, tumbler, sunglasses and wristband!

2 p.m.: Run Run Rudolph Stocking

You'll be stylin' for the YMCA Christmas Run this year with a bunch of swag from some of the Treasure Valley's favorite fitness brands like Hoka One One, Nike, Aquaphor, Huma and Gu! Did we mention that this stocking includes TWO FREE Entries to this year's YMCA Christmas Run.  Get out, get active and earn those Christmas cookies with this gift!

3 p.m.: Festival of Trees Stocking

Need some inspiration for you home's Christmas tree? Look no further than the expertly decorated evergreens at the St. Alphonsus Festival of Trees at the Boise Centre! This stocking includes two free tickets to the festival's emerald anniversary and a beautiful set of Rae Dunn inspired ornaments form Michelle Heart Custom Creations!

4 p.m.: Christmas Date Night Stocking

When was the last time you went on a date night? We mean a real date night with no kids. A date night without double dating with your neighbors.  If it's been a minute, let us help you reconnect and get in to the spirit of the season with a pair of tickets to Under the Streetlamp's electrifying "Hip for the Holidays" show at the Morrison Center on Wednesday, November 28! This stocking include two tickets to the show and $50 to enjoy dinner at Cottonwood Grille before the show!

5 p.m.: If I Had a Million Dollars Stocking

The Barenaked Ladies took over the Idaho Botanical Garden's Outlaw Field last summer and left behind an autographed album! Santa's stuffing this stocking with this exclusive vinyl record and five of the Idaho Lottery's "Rollin' In the Dough" scratch tickets to help you earn your way toward the band's smash hit "If I Had a Million Dollars!"

And that's not all! I'll have three more stockings for you to get in to win tonight at Caldwell's "Winter Wonderland Festival" at Indian Creek Plaza! These stockings are just as HUGE as the ones Santa stuck under the tree in the studio, so make sure you come to see us tonight from 5-7 p.m!
