If you're looking for a good story to read around the hustle and bustle of Christmas, "His Christmas Pleasure" will meet your requirements. If you're looking for a good Christmas story ... well, reach for something else.
In the weeks before Christmas, Santa Claus' North Tonawanda substation did its best to answer hundreds of letters and channel his wisdom, love and cheer. Some needed more Kris Kringle-inspired magic than others.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio - the self-proclaimed "toughest sheriff" in America - likes Christmas music, especially "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and anything by Alvin and the Chipmunks, and apparently he thinks the 8,000 inmates inside his Phoenix jail should, too. So it was with some glee that his Maricopa County office announced Thursday in a red-and-green press release that the "sixth and perhaps final lawsuit" brought by inmates to stop the sheriff from playing the holiday songs all day, every day, during the holidays had been dismissed in federal court.
Some of us get anxious at the thought of decorating one Christmas tree. Not Granville Gilbert. Better known as Mr. Christmas, he has 20 trees decorated throughout his home. For the past 25 years, Gilbert has been opening up his extravagant home for the community to come together for some holiday enjoyment.
Most of our homes are adorned with shiny decorations and ornate Christmas Trees with irresistible presents underneath the branches. Our children wait with restless anticipation for the day that they can unwrap their presents. Husbands and wivcs, sisters and brothers, lovers and friends, mothers and fathers are equally excited about the presents under the tree. Is there room under your tree for another Presence? After all, Jesus is the reason for the season. The best gift around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other through the love of Christ. We've got to get back to the basic fundamental values that propelled us out of the hopeless chains of oppression and brought us to the threshold of equality and justice.

I'm sure the American public was hoping to tune-in to C-SPAN on Christmas Eve, as they sat next to a roaring fire and ate red and blue sugar cookies. But the Scrooges on Capitol Hill adjourned in time for the holidays, and Christmas will be a little merrier for the Democrats. After a self-described "shellacking" during the midterm elections, President Barack Obama still fulfilled his wish list - extending unemployment benefits, the new Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START), the repeal of "don't ask, don't tell.
If you could hear the voice underneath the bright-red suit and see the face behind the snowy white beard, Santa just might seem familiar to local racing fans. And, there's a reason why. Jimmy Deese is the announcer for Memphis International Raceway in Millington. In the spirit of Christmas, the Dyersburg resident gets a kick out of dressing up like St. Nick and driving "Santa's Ride," his 1969 classic red Camaro, around town.
David C. Heck was sentenced Friday to 25 years to life in prison for fatally bludgeoning his elderly mother on Christmas Eve two years ago in their Town of Tonawanda home. State Supreme Court Justice M. William Boller imposed the maximum-allowable prison term after Heck's Feb. 18 second-degree murder conviction.
