Welcome to this week's edition of Christmas... in the news. This is a weekly review of some of the Christmas articles and news over the last week.
Thrilled to have you here. We just returned from Wilmington, North Carolina. Believe it or not, we had to scrape the windshield of the car this morning before running our morning errands around Wilmington. We enjoyed our stay, cold though it was, and we are back in Massachusetts and falling into our regular work schedules.
This will be our last Christmas... in the news segment until later in the year. Even the Hallmark Channel has moved into winter-themed movies, Valentine's Day items have popped up in every store, and I'm the last hold out with outdoor holiday lights still up. At least stores are running great sales to clear out their Christmas inventory!
But fear not! We love Christmas all twelve months of the year. So, what can you look forward to?
- Book reviews
- Movie reviews
- Favorite Christmas hymns/songs, ornaments, memories
- Christmas podcast reviews
- Monthly Christmas task lists to help you get ready for the holidays a bit at a time
And maybe even some new surprises. Feel free to share in the comments if there is something you would be interested in seeing here.
Without further ado, let's talk Christmas... in the news!
Mark Klaus, owner of Castle Noel in Medina, Ohio, coordinated "The Promise of Christmas" event held this past Saturday for people from North Carolina who were impacted by Hurricane Helene. Klaus told Fox 8 News that he wanted to give people a break, considering all that has been going on. You can read more here.
The tree from the Berkshires is now on its next journey. NBC New York reported that the Rockefeller Center tree came down yesterday. It is then cut up and shipped off to be milled into two-by-four and two-by-six beams before being donated to Habitat for Humanity. You can read all about it here.
Speaking of Christmas trees, elephants at the Berlin Zoo were treated with unsold Christmas trees to eat and play with. The AP spoke about it here.
So many great Christmas tidbits to share this season. Which ones were your favorites?
