Lamorinda Christmas Lists: Lafayette's Don Tatzin
We're closing in on the time of year when the jolly fellow grants everyone's wishes and brings toys for the kids. What do YOU want for Christmas this year, boys and girls?
Patch, your go-to resource for local news and other stuff you can't live without, is also starting to get Christmas "wish lists" from its faithful band of followers. While we, uh, may not be able to make all those Holiday dreams come true we can at least get them up on the local radar screen for other local elves to see and -- perhaps -- bring to fruition.
Here's one we received from Lafayette City Councilmember Don Tatzin. It includes some suggestions he'd like to see fellow Lafayette residents take to heart this Christmas. Perhaps you can help.
1. Enjoy the twinkle lights along Mt. Diablo Boulevard
2. Dine at one of Lafayette’s 30 restaurants
3. Place special orders for your holiday parties at Lafayette’s four grocery stores
4. Choose a plant or decoration at Orchard Nursery or Mt. Diablo Nursery
5. Thank the parking enforcement officer who left you a Seasons Greetings tag instead of a parking ticket if you run a little over the meter time
6. Clothe the family at McCaulou’s, Pendleton, Sandy’s and other stores
7. Satisfy your sweet tooth at Powell’s or the Tea Cake Bake Shop
8. Get something for your furry or feathered companion at the Lafayette Pet Shoppe, Nitro Dog, or Pet Food Express

14. Take receipts totaling $150 or more from three Lafayette merchants to the Chamber of Commerce for a chance to win cash prizes
