Someone snuck into our Brentwood driveway and broke into our car, stealing my purse, CDs, phone and gift cards. Right at Christmas, too! Have you had your purse snatched in Brentwood, TN? I'd love to know!

Where is the best place in Nashville to take a family Christmas photo? You may be surprised to find that it's NOT the Opryland Hotel! The Opryland Hotel has all kinds of fun, free things to do for Christmas in the Nashville area -- but its dark conservatories and artificial lighting make picture taking hard.
