Hey Everybody, It’s December

We have reached the final month of 2025. December, let’s see what you have in store for us. May the holidays be fun and festive and uneventful. Have a good month, good people.

The Season Of Advent Has Begun

The season of Advent has begun for many in the Christian tradition. This is a time of prayer, reflection and waiting for the birth of Jesus Christ. Advent is also the beginning of the church year. It’s a time of celebration and joy, too.

Christmas is on its way. Enjoy the journey.

Stranger Things 5 – One Last Adventure

Tonight we are streaming the first part of the final season of Stranger Things. It’s one last adventure for our friends as they go to the upside down to chase Vecna. Hawkins, Indiana is not the same that we left it in season four, and it’s going to be a spooky time for all.

Today Is Black Friday, A Big Shopping Day

Today is Black Friday, which is one of the busiest shopping days of the year. It has been traditionally a fight to the death for the best deals and bargains. There is fun to see what people have been able to get at the stores. With Amazon, Walmart, Target, and the like, Black Friday seems to have lost a little of its popularity.

But there is nothing like getting out and fighting crowds for some instant gratification. For some, it’s the thrill of the chase to get what they want. I hope the odds were ever in your favor if you went out this morning.
