I had a friend who used to be so particular about putting her Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving and taking it down on New Year’s Day, except one year when she left it up until February. Of course, I can’t say much because I left my un-decorated tree in the corner of my living room from December of last year until October of this year. Can anyone top that?

The annual “Toys for Tots” ride will happen on Sunday, Dec. 11 beginning in New Boston, Texas and ending in Texarkana.

Our Angel Tree at the radio station is still loaded with children's names and each name tag has the child's age, clothing and shoe sizes, a wish list and a needs list. You can give a special gift this Christmas to a local child in need who will otherwise go without socks, gloves, shoes and toys.

This year's Christmas Parade has been rescheduled to Tuesday due to the rainy weather expected today and tonight. The 32nd Annual Main Street Christmas Parade will be held Tuesday, December 6, at 7PM in downtown Texarkana.

Let's face it, Orlando, Florida in December is not a bad place to be in general, so how about we throw in tickets to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra? Transportation? Meet-n-Greet passes, hotel, spending cash and an autographed guitar? Now how much would you pay? Forget that, we want to send you there for free!

I counted the children's names that are still hanging on our Salvation Army Angel Tree in the lobby of the radio station. Twenty-five children have no one purchasing toys or clothing for them this Christmas. December 6 is the deadline. Can you help?

"It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year," it's not just a song title, it's the truth. The giving spirit comes out in so many of us, the shopping, the great buys, meeting people in great moods everywhere you go. Well, with any luck anyway.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner. I was curious as to what restaurants are open for Thanksgiving.  Maybe one we can go to if our family lives across the country or we just don't want to cook. Here is what I found.

The Big Turkey Day is almost here. There is so much preparation and anticipation. Unfortunately, it can go wrong very quickly. Here are some tips on fixing some mistakes that you might make when roasting that turkey. I posted these last year, but it's worth a repeat this year too.

Please stop by the radio station and pick a child from our Salvation Army Angel Tree. The tree is decorated with names of children in our community that would love to receive items from their wish list and needs list as a little Christmas help from you.
