RITUALS: In Heege Hills, the men of the neighborhood all help each other put up all the holiday lights, and one dresses up like Santa and stands on a corner on weekend evenings, giving the kids candy canes. People started giving him money, saying, "Buy some more lights"--and when no more lights could be strung, the guys started donating the money to needy Affton families. Last year they gave away $3,000.
