Hey, neighbors! I'm back in your inbox this morning with your fresh edition of the Mountain Brook Daily, fresh off the presses. Here's everything you need to know about what's happening in the community today. Today's issue includes updates on...

• 🧥 Mountain Brook's own Tensaw Jacket.
• 🎁 Snoozy's Toys gift recommendations.

But first, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and cool. High: 51 Low: 30.

📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Mountain Brook who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Mountain Brook today:

1. Meet Radcliff and Mary Menge, two lawyers who founded Tensaw Jacket in 2015, creating a product with an "Americana" feel that is "rugged enough but look classic enough that it would fit in a professional environment, bridging both worlds," according to Radcliff. (Mountain Brook Magazine)
2. George Jones of Snoozy's Toy Store in Mountain Brook said that families seem to be looking for handmade interactive gifts this holiday season. His recommendation to shoppers is to buy items when they see them, rather than relying on shipping, which could be delayed. Check out his top holiday picks. (Over the Mountain Journal)
3. From the Mountain Brook Holiday Parade on Sunday, Dec. 4, to the 59th Annual Living Nativity at Mountain Brook Baptist Church on Dec. 22, there's lots of events around town next month. (Mountain Brook Magazine)
