I'm back from my Mom's from Christmas festivites, so I've naturally gotten back to my normal activities. Get a snack and turn on Sportscenter, ha! They showed a video of a Dad receiving tickets to the BCS National Championship game between Notre Dame and Alabama and his reaction is priceless!

I'm pretty sure everyone liked the gifts that I gave them, but I definately didn't get any reactions like this one!

A Very Tasty Christmas Day

Jordan Winders — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 22:00:03 +0000

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you are all getting to spend time with your loved ones. As I have made my rounds to family meals, I noticed something: each family has their own special Christmas meals. For instance my parents do Christmas breakfast (something we have done every year since I can remember). My sister [...]

See the Cast of 'Santa Claus: the Movie' Then and Now

Moon Mullins — Tue, 25 Dec 2012 12:07:54 +0000

Jeremy Taylor at thefw.com had a great idea. Take the movie, 'Santa Claus: the Movie', a sprawling retelling of the legend of Santa Claus, with a subplot that involved a renegade elf named Patch who hooks up with a unscrupulous toy manufacturer before re-discovering the meaning of Christmas. Then, see what all the surviving cast members are doing. The star, Dudley Moore, passed away in 2002.

Forgotten Christmas Traditions

Jordan Winders — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:45:51 +0000

I have heard a lot of people talking lately about Christmas traditions. From the music they listen to, how their family gets together for the Holidays, the movies the watch, and what they eat.

I started thinking about some of the traditions my family has and realized that some of these traditions have changed over the years

Toys Donated In Memory Of Lane Goodwin [PHOTOS]

Jaclyn Graves — Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:51:50 +0000

I think it's safe to say that people all over the country were extremely touched by the life of Lane Goodwin. We all watched he and his family fight the monster of childhood cancer. We celebrated during the good days and our hearts were broken when he passed away in October.

In lieu of flowers or a balloon release, the family requested sentiments be in the form of gift cards to certain stores. They planned to purchase toys for the children being treated at the Vanderbilt Children's Oncology Clinic. A few weeks ago... that's just what they did!

Mrs. Davis' 5th grade class at East View Elementary decided to do things a little differently this year. Instead of giving presents to each other, they wanted to donate them to the children at Christmas Wish. What a great group of 10 and 11 year olds! Office Manager Roxianne's daughter Cydney is in the class, so we decided to take the WBKR truck, the BKR bear and us to the school and have them present their presents!

These kids are amazing and they brought in over 35 toys! They even wrapped the gifts themselves, check it out!

Moon's Tradition – Watching 'A Christmas Story'

Moon Mullins — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 13:17:30 +0000

I enjoy watching Bob Clark’s classic holiday comedy over and over on TBS. And, it starts Monday night. I read on theFW.com that the film has a distinction that few family movies can claim: like me, most people don’t mind watching it over and over again.

A Really Good Fruitcake Recipe

egrant — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 04:41:53 +0000

Yes, you read that right. I have a fruitcake recipe that will make you re-think all those forgotten fruitcakes you might have used as door stop or a paper weight in the past.

A couple of years ago around Christmas, my Dad got a wild hair and he decided to make his grandmother's (my Mamaw Brown's) no-bake fruitcake. I know, who actually likes fruitcake? To be honest, your run of the mill fruitcake isn't that bad. But this recipe is so different and it is delicious!

I look through our Christmas song list every year and “Jingle Bells” always grows by two. Or “Let It Snow” grows by four. And you wouldn’t believe how many versions of “Winter Wonderland” there are. So, after a while, it becomes a matter of what’s your favorite version of your favorite Christmas song. With so [...]
