A few more hours and presents will be under the tree, Santa will have (hopefully) made his stop to your house, and we can all celebrate another wonderful day. So while you’re wrapping up some last minute gifts or just hoping to catch a glimpse of the jolly old man, let’s reflect on some things we hope Santa delivers to Arizona this next year.
