Holidays

I had a friend who used to be so particular about putting her Christmas tree up the day after Thanksgiving and taking it down on New Year’s Day, except one year when she left it up until February. Of course, I can’t say much because I left my un-decorated tree in the corner of my living room from December of last year until October of this year. Can anyone top that?

The annual “Toys for Tots” ride will happen on Sunday, Dec. 11 beginning in New Boston, Texas and ending in Texarkana.

Our Angel Tree at the radio station is still loaded with children's names and each name tag has the child's age, clothing and shoe sizes, a wish list and a needs list. You can give a special gift this Christmas to a local child in need who will otherwise go without socks, gloves, shoes and toys.

This year's Christmas Parade has been rescheduled to Tuesday due to the rainy weather expected today and tonight. The 32nd Annual Main Street Christmas Parade will be held Tuesday, December 6, at 7PM in downtown Texarkana.

With Thanksgiving just around the corner. I was curious as to what restaurants are open for Thanksgiving.  Maybe one we can go to if our family lives across the country or we just don't want to cook. Here is what I found.

Looking for trick or treats close to home this month? Here is a huge list of Fall festivals, pumpkin patches and haunted trails and houses in the Texarkana area and surrounding communities.
