January 10, 2013 You've been waiting all year for this and it's finally here, Crawdaddy's Boil-N-Go opens at 4 p.m. today!
Now that Christmas is over, it's probably time to take down the tree. For most of us anyway. One percent of the population leaves the tree up all year! You know who you are.
How long is too long? Most people take down the tree by early January, and some of us ripped it down as soon as the last present was passed out.
December 20, 2012 In case you missed it, Wednesday I was at the Loan Star Express in front of Kmart, giving away great prizes like 5 Sprite Swag Bags, and a Grand Prize, a $500 Apple gift card.
How do you explain the unexplainable to children? Today, parents across the country, including myself, were faced with this -- fumbling over words while explaining the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown - located only 20 miles away from my own daughter's elementary school.
At some stores and homes, the Christmas decorations were up before Thanksgiving.
Those of us that did put up the Christmas tree before carving the turkey have been accused of breaking holiday rules, but rather than rebellion, we rule breakers argue it's convenient. With the decorating out of the way we could concentrate on matters like shopping.
Now that Thanksgiving is officially behind us, the rule followers are breaking out the Christmas lights too. Lufkin will light up the season with a Christmas parade on Tuesday.
Black Friday 2012 is only a few days away, and many local and national businesses have released store hours, discounts and deals early to get customers ready to shop.
A website called 'The Black Friday' has tons of predictions for this year's deals, if you're brave enough to face the crowds early in the wee hours of the morning!
We'll share more information once we know deals and hours for local businesses. If you've already got the scoop, send us a note!

I'm glad I went to the Veteran's Day parade in downtown Lufkin on Saturday. The 9th annual event was full of traditional pomp and circumstance, but rightfully so, with the emphasis on those who served and are currently serving our country.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade always has impressive floats, interesting performances from pop music and broadway, and it’s a huge tourist draw for New York City.
One East Texas cheerleader is on her way! We’ll watch for her on NBC next Thursday morning.
October 31, 2012 The Nacogdoches Jaycees Haunted House with Sigma Tau Gamma is tonight at the back entrance of the University Mall. This year is the first year that it is presented by my buddies from the Mike Love and Associates Law Firm
