Wausau Man’s Christmas Tree Still Up After Four Decades

 

 

 

 

 

 

” A slim spruce covered in tinsel and dusty Christmas decorations has stayed parked in Neil Olson’s living room for 40 years now, and it somehow has retained its needles over those four decades.

” Most of ’em don’t last,” Olson, 89, said. “The needles are kept on for a reason. It’s supernatural, I say.”

  Olson put up the tree in 1974 when two of his six sons went off to serve in the Vietnam War. He planned to take it down when he had all six boys home again for Christmas at the same time.

  He’s still waiting for that day.

  Five of the kids live in Wausau. But the eldest, who is disabled, lives in Washington state and has been unable to make the journey back to Wisconsin at Christmas.”

” Take a look at this bowhunter’s humorous Christmas lights: Pataskala, Ohio resident Matt Stuller’s Christmas lights display is popular among residents. In creating the display, Stuller said he wanted to combine his love of Christmas and hunting by adding a touch of humor. “It’s for the hunter that can appreciate a little humor,” said Stuller in a Coshocton Tribune article. “People drive by and come back and even take pictures.” “

” It’s that time of year when many celebrate the birth of Jesus. Some just enjoy the theme aspect of the holiday. Some say you don’t need Jesus to celebrate Christmas, and some are Bah Humbug over Christmas all together. But here’s a commentary on some reasons why we celebrate the birth of the One many take for granted. Hear more in this ZoNation.”

This Dad Filmed 25 Years Of Christmas Mornings For 1 Amazing Family Video

 

” In 1985, these kids’ dad filmed them running down the stairs to greet their presents on Christmas morning. The next year, he filmed them again—and the year after that, and the year after that, for 25 years, when the kids were fully grown adults, pushing 30 years old.

  It’s the same routine: The siblings go one at a time, hopping or scooting on their butts down the steps. They’re alternately shy, then silly, then self-conscious. In their teens, they look annoyed, but as they get older, the annual video becomes more than just a sappy dad joke.”

Black-Mob Violence Surges During Holiday Period

 

 

 

” This Christmas season saw dozens of episodes of black mob violence in malls, clubs, streets and other places around the country. Such attacks are part of an epidemic of hundreds of cases of black mob violence in more than 80 cities over the last three years, as documented in the book “White Girl Bleed a Lot: The return of racial violence to America and how the media ignore it.”

These attacks follow similar incidents on Memorial Day, Labor Day, the Fourth of July, St. Patrick’s Day and other holidays in 2012.

In Baton Rouge over the weekend, a mob of 200 black people caused a panic at the Mall of Louisiana after they began fighting and running through the shopping center.

According to the Baton Rouge Advocate, some were “screaming in terror.” Others called it a “stampede.” WWLTV called it “chaotic and scary.”

Hundreds of shoppers fled in panic. Others took refuge in small shops, where the managers sheltered customers behind locked doors to protect them from the rampaging crowd while the mall was closed and evacuated.

After leaving the shopping center, the rioters descended on Perkins Rowe, a neighboring shopping and residential district, where the violence and lawlessness continued.

This is one of several episodes of black mob violence in Baton Rouge over the last year.

“A similar incident at the Mall of Louisiana about a year ago led to the shootings of two teenagers,” said the Advocate.

See the Big List of black mob violence.

In February, police used pepper spray on a black mob of 600 waiting for the release of a new style of basketball shoe.

In September, WFAB reported Baton Rouge police had to break up a riot of more than 100 black people at a skating rink. One man brandished a gun, and families were “fearing for their lives.”

Several witnesses at the most recent Mall of Louisiana riot reported seeing and hearing weapons, but local police said there were no shots fired.

Video of the event shows the rioters were black. But the paper described the rioters as teenagers – a fact that several who posted comments on the paper’s web site wondered about:

Please explain to me your thought process in concluding that telling the truth is racist. The fact is that the 200 or so people involved were indeed black. There have been numerous instances of what black teens and young adults call “swarming”. ”

“It’s that special time of the year, when Christmas lights go up and holiday cheer floats through the air like an all-consuming vapor. And the latest entity to fall in its path is the Victoria’s Secret Angels.  And while their looks are second to none, their singing sure could use some work.

But it’s sort of fun to watch them try, anyway. You can see Candice SwanepoelLily Aldridge, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Erin Heatherton, Lindsay Ellingson and Doutzen Kroes singing their hearts out for a special rendition of the Christmas classic “Deck the Halls” in the video below.”

Makes One Proud To Be An American

Yet We Are Told The Problem Is ” Corporate ” Greed 

 

 

 ” Americans love a sale, and no day holds better nationwide deals than the Friday after Thanksgiving. It’s become a kind of creepy, retail-driven holiday. Most of the time people are relatively civil, waiting in long lines, sometimes even camping out. Saving 20 bucks on an Xbox 360 is totally worth it. But occasionally, and it happens in a few places every year, people act stupid. Here are a 10 videos of civilization at its very worst. “
