christmas

I would love to get these as a Christmas gift!

It seems every year I learn about the weirdest things when it comes to Christmas. I remember the first year I learned about Krampus (long before a movie was mad) and then the Christmas pickle. This year I have learned about something called the Yule Cat.

Christmas has become a hassle. For me this is year, it's "Festivus for the rest of us!"

We are so close to Christmas and Christmas is a day of love and giving and spending time with your family and friends. Why not do something amazing this year before Christmas. In fact, you can give a priceless gift, the gift of life. By giving that gift you can put something in your stocking.

I remember my very first Christmas as a single mom. I was quite nervous about how I was going to make this all work.

Let's face it Christmas is about food. I know, I know, Christmas is about family and friends, giving and the birth of Jesus, but c'mon, it's about food. We eat a ton of food during this time of year and 1/2 a ton of candy, so it's no surprise that Texas has a popular candy.

We actually started this years ago. Faith was pretty young. It started when we would go to Midnight Mass, before it was moved to an earlier service.

It happens A LOT. You see those kids that are thrilled about seeing Santa Clause. It took a long time for me to get those kind of kid with Santa pictures.

They say a lot changes when you have children. That even applies to what songs you listen to, and which ones bring a smile to your face.

One of the best Christmas stories this time of year is Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." It's a great story and many movies have been made about the book. It's fun to read and it's fun to watch. It's a story of evolving and realizing the true meaning of Christmas. This year, the Amarillo Little Theatre's Academy will be presenting "A Christmas Carol" live on stage.

Most of the radio stations that pulled the song have since put it back in rotation after receiving complaints.

Join Llano Cemetery as they join Arlington Cemetery and many across the country to honor our fallen heroes. Llano will be joining other cemeteries across the country in the national Wreaths Across America Program.
