Ok, it's just about 77 days away from Christmas... my husband wants a German Shepard puppy. If you know of anyone who has a liter that will be ready by Christmas, please let me know. I've been keeping my eye on the shelters around here, but it has to be a male and it has to be a...

Scientists are saying Santa Clause may be homeless before the end of this summer due to warming conditions at the North Pole.
Santa will be swimming in open water before the end of the summer, the AP reports. Hopefully, he'll move before that happens. He does have a flying sleigh after all....

I hope everyone has a great time. I don't think I will do too much. Besides, I just spent lots of money for Thanksgiving, gave my sister a surprise birthday party in December, not to mention Christmas was in the same month (yes I am broke as a joke!), January marks another wedding...

For the past week or so I have taken alternate routes home at night to avoid the traffic headaches on Navarro Street from the loop north to the city limits.
Most of the time my route has been through Cuero - which you might say is a logical route.
But this time a year it is more than logical,...

I came across an article about Christmas that contained information I was totally unfamiliar with. Were you all aware that four very large sects of Christianity rejected Christmas until "the late 19th century." I also found it very interesting that not only does the majority of...

In driving back to the office from my dinner break, I took the "scenic route" to get a glimpse of some of the amazing Christmas lights Victorians had strung up throughout town.
And let me tell you. I was impressed.
My family has never really done Christmas lights before. It's...

The big turnout for the Howell Middle School Christmas pageant impressed me Tuesday night at the Welder Center. Family members packed every one of the 482 seats in the hall.
Such events remind me a lot of good things happen every day in our public schools. My favorite piece was when the combined...

A weekend trip to visit my family in Laredo got me thinking about the season. Texas Decembers are ... well, they're strange. I was clad in a sweater at the beginning of last week, but by Friday even my long-sleeved T-shirt made me swelteringly hot.
You see, after nearly 10 years in the Lone Star...

You never know how music will move you.
When Conspirare closed Wednesday night's "Christmas at the Carillon" with "I Could Have Danced All Night," I thought of my father.
"My Fair Lady" is his favorite musical. As a kid, I must have seen the movie a half dozen...

It's hard not to chuckle a little - quietly - to myself each Sunday as I sit in the church pews, watching Christmas draw near and listen to announcements of the annual pageant. "We only have one king so far - we need another two!" was the panic-ridden...

I had no idea the Holiday Parade was so big and so well-attended. My family and I enjoyed tremendously our first taste of December in Victoria.
I expected the size of the parade and the crowd to be similar to the Veterans Day parade, which we also attended to watch our daughter march with...

This time of year I hear what sounds like confessions from many home educators that they “haven’t done school in a few days” or even “weeks.” I recently caught myself vocalizing those fears to my children that they “were no longer ahead.” ...

I'm not sure about the rest of you out there, but when the holiday season rolls around for me, it means a little stricter budget, fewer meals out and renting movies instead of a trip to the theater.
Newsflash for those who happen to be rolling in dough: buying presents is expensive. Really...
