Christmas... in the News: Story of This Year's Rockefeller Christmas Tree, Toys for Tots Save & Christmas in the Wild

 


Welcome to this edition of Christmas... in the news. This is a review of Christmas articles and news over the last week.

How is it Sunday again? There are only 46 days until Christmas! This weekend, I got the garden ready for winter, planted the garlic and the tulip and crocus bulbs, and asked my husband to bring up the family room Christmas tree. We will decorate it when the youngest comes home from college for Thanksgiving, but it takes me time to fluff it out. 

This week's news starts in New York, where Today reported on this year's Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Widow Judy Russ talks about how her husband dreamed of the day their Norway spruce would make its way to Rockefeller Center. It is such a touching story. Please read it here

Then we travel to Montgomery County, Maryland, where WTOP News reported their local Toys for Tots was gifted a free warehouse for the season, which prevented this year's toy drive from being canceled. Check out this heartwarming story here.

Finally, we make our way to Tampa, Florida, where NewsChannel 8 reported that "Christmas in the Wild" is returning to ZooTampa. Visitors will see ZooTampa transformed into a "glowing wonderland featuring unforgettable entertainment, larger-than-life illuminated animal sculptures, delicious seasonal food, and interactive experiences."
