The morning of December 7, 1941 - seventy years ago today December 7, 2011 - The Japanese sprung a surprise attack on the US Navy at Pearl Harbor Hawaii . Included in the attack were many of the ships docked in the harbor and Hickham Airfield.
Today, December 6th is Saint Nicholas’s Day – the beginning of Christmas gift giving .

Here are the suggestions he passed along
(Thanks Dan!)
