December 23, 2014 Christmas as we know it today hasn’t always been Christmas as we know it. It was only about 150 years ago Christmas in the United States started to take shape and become the holiday we have today.
It's hard to find someone who doesn't enjoy a good holiday flick, especially Will Ferrell's charming 'Elf.' Darius Rucker even found a little inspiration in the Christmas movie!
Ever wondered what Christmas is like with country power couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton?
It was a very Merry Christmas for Craig Morgan's wife Karen a few years back. The 'Wake Up Lovin' You' singer gave his No. 1 girl what he considers to be the best Christmas gift he's ever given!
December 23, 2014 It's two days until Christmas and this is the first year that I haven't finished my Christmas shopping yet. I have a reason, even though it's totally my fault. On December 9th, I was at Hannaford and I wrote a check for my groceries and I saw that it was the last check in my book. I got home to discover that was the last check I had!
'Tis better to give than receive. Never has that old staple of the Christmas season been truer than it was last week at a fast food restaurant in Liberty, Texas.
December 22, 2014 Until the Christmas of 1880 Christmas trees when decorated with candles. As you can imagine that would be quite dangerous having lighted candles on a dry tree. Thomas Edison, who invented the incandescent bulb in 1879, hung a string of electric lights outside his lab in New Jersey and that was the beginning of electric lights at Christmas.
There’s no consensus on what the best Christmas movie of all-time is, but ‘Elf‘ would have to be up there with the best of them. Released in 2003, the film has gone on to become a bonafide classic, watched as many times over the holidays as ‘A Christmas Story’ or ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. Do you share an affinity for elf culture? Now you can test your ‘Elf’ knowledge with the latest installment of You Think You Know Movies!
December 22, 2014 We asked for you to nominate an inspirational family. We received hundreds of nominations. Thank you to everyone who participated. It is refreshing to see how many people there are out there that have big hearts.
December 22, 2014 With the Holiday season here, do you encourage your child to participate in the Spirit of Giving? Or, do you not think that is an important lesson to foster in a child's mind? Since I'm raising 6 kids, I noticed this weekend that half of them are all about giving and half are more focused on the receiving.
