Christmas News from Around the Country


There were several bits of Christmas news when I browsed the Internet this weekend. 

We will start our journey this week in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where Elaine Bowman has set up a permanent Christmas tree in her living room made from a column from the old Abraham Lincoln Hotel in Reading that she found in an antique store. Read Elaine's story here.

Our next stop is in Madison County, Virginia, where the county school board has just approved to change the name of  "Winter Break" in the draft 2024-2025 school calendar to "Christmas Break." You can read about the controversial decision here

We then stop in New York, New York, where Cinemablend has reported Hallmark is in production for a sequel to the 2022 holiday movie, Three Wise Men and a Baby. Titled, Three Wiser Men and a Boy, this movie takes place five years after the events of the first movie. You can read more here

Finally, we will travel to Alaska for some tragic news out of Anchorage. Jason Tolstrup, who has lit the decorated spruce along Glenn Highway since 2005, died in a dirt bike accident last week. You can read more about Tolstrup's dedication to keeping the landmark glowing here
