Black Friday is in just a few days. The day of massive sales, long lines, and a generally frantic attitude is upon us. Just a day after we all give thanks for all that we have, we crowd in our local stores to rampage for the best deal. During this chaotic day, we need to remember to be kind to those working.
It's beginning to look a LOT like Christmas.
3 weeks ago Watching the movie starring Tom Hanks has become a holiday tradition for many of us, and it will no doubt appear on TV a few times this holiday season. And kids can experience a very real Polar Express right here in East Texas this weekend.
The Texas State Railroad will have the Polar Express running in Palestine, and kids can even wear their PJ's!
It's no secret we live in a commercialized society. Money is involved in almost every aspect of our lives on a daily basis. Black Friday is a perfect example. It's the day stores can practically hit their yearly sales goals in one or two days, thanks to some extreme sales that are surely to bring out the masses to save a few bucks.
It's been a while since I was at the mall and that's where I found myself yesterday afternoon, walking through Broadway Square Mall and there it was, the Salvation
Army Angel Tree! It's right there between Chick-Fil-A and JC Penney and seeing it reminded me that Christmas will be here before you know it.
4 weeks ago Do you add up how much you spend on Christmas gifts? I don't! I always think, "Well, this is only twelve bucks, or that's a good deal for sixty-five...." and I don't tally it all up at the end. But I think my total ends up being right around average most years.
Holiday shopping is one step above torture but getting crappy presents is even worse.
Christmas is right around the corner. Have you started shopping yet? If not and you're wondering what you should get the favorite people in your life, we've compiled a list of the best and most popular toys and gifts for Christmas 2013
The Christmas tunes will be filling the air soon and children all over East Texas will be dreaming about receiving their favorite toy under the Christmas tree and having the best time of their lives. Kids wish for the world when it comes to receiving gifts and in reality, some kids will not receive anything this year because of difficult times or other situations.
Duck Dynasty is in its fourth season on A&E and is without a doubt, one of the biggest shows on all of television. The Robertson family has created a culture and a rather impressive dedicated following, too. The family is getting in the holiday spirit this year a bit early, because they're getting ready to release a Christmas album on Oct. 29!
Define irony. Punk rock legends Bad Religion have just announced that they will be releasing a Christmas album! The aptly titled 'Christmas Songs' will get your holiday season started a little early this year, as the album will see a Oct. 29 release date.
