Holiday

LAYTON -- Some kisses can leave you breathless ... but not always in a good way. Before you pucker up for that Valentine's Day kiss, you might want to proceed with caution, especially if you suffer from food allergies.

OGDEN -- While the Occupy Ogden camp shrinks, life is starting to look up for its remaining members.

The camp used to sprawl along the whole northern side of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Ogden on 23rd Street, with at least two dozen members.

FRUIT HEIGHTS -- Getting adoptable dogs and cats into warm homes in time for Christmas may take Santa's touch.

Davis County Animal Care and Control will hold a special adoption event from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at the shelter, 1422 E. 600 North, Fruit Heights.

LAYTON -- Walk inside Todd and Beverly Larson's home, and you just might think you've arrived in a winter wonderland.

The front room is filled with tiny lights, buildings, businesses, cabins, lakes, a ski lift, waterfall, train and even the North Pole.

CLEARFIELD — Holiday decorating could mean cash prizes for some residents here.

From 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Dec. 2, Clearfield Community Services will take nominations for the yard with the best decorations.

SNOWBASIN -- While many shoppers arose well before the crack of dawn today to take advantage of Black Friday shopping deals, Marshall McGonegal and his friends opted for Black Thursday.

McGonegal, of Eden, was first in line to board the Needles Gondola at Snowbasin as it opened its lifts for the 2011-12 season -- his reward for arriving at the resort around 3:30 a.m. Thursday.

FARMINGTON — The Davis County Memorial Courthouse will be closed Thursday and Friday for the Thanksgiving holiday.

The courthouse, at 28 E. State St. in downtown Farmington, will reopen to the public at 8 a.m. Monday.
