Mrs. Claus accompanied Santa reading the Christmas story to children, while other children visited with Santa. Let’s get in the holiday spirit once again! About 65 children attended the event last year. I expect 60-80 kids this year. We had 240 cookies…
Should Christmas decorations be put up prior to thanksgiving? I think that they should not put christmas decorations up on Thanksgiving because its not December yet,but some people disagree. To begin with I disagree with decorating for Christmas before Thanksgiving because people dont get to enjoy the holiday. Here it is four days before Thanksgiving and the stores are really all about Christmas. The weekend after Thanksgiving can be the most popular time for Christmas and decorating some…

The Christmas story, based off the writings and film by Jean Shepherd. The play was held at Tennessee Performing Arts Center on the 27th of November.
