Holidays

Did y'all have a good Thanksgiving holiday? I sure do hope so. Now we are moving on to the next holiday- Christmas.  As you can already tell, Christmas is in full swing. A great way to celebrate the holidays is by getting in the kitchen and making something the entire family will love. Check out this easy and delicious peppermint bark recipe.

  It's almost time to start Christmas shopping for all of our family and friends. Giving gifts and seeing everyone's smiling faces is probably one of the best parts about the holidays. Courtesy Automotive Center in Breaux Bridge knows exactly what I am talking about because they want to give away a FREE vehicle every Saturday for the rest of the month of November. Looks like Christmas is coming ea

It's that time of year y'all -- shopping season! That means the traffic on Johnston and Ambassador within a mile or so from the mall will be just nuts for the next month and a half.

Holiday spending is expected to increase this year, as a new report indicates that more Americans are finally seeing a little reprieve from the last four years of economic anxiety.

Today is a holiday, it’s not a holiday you’ve probably heard that much about but maybe if you and I discuss its merit and values it will catch on. I think it is a neat idea.

These days, the Christmas season kicks into full swing right after Thanksgiving ends, but it looks like the majority of Americans aren’t particularly thrilled with spending an entire month celebrating the holiday.

Around our house there is really no need to decorate for Halloween. We just don't clean for a week and our place looks abandoned and haunted. The people in this video, they've got a lot more time for decorating than I do. I must say this is just down right impressive.

Isn't it funny how we can all seem to get along as different cultures in one huge melting pot when there is a holiday to celebrate? Okay a holiday that involves "actin da donkey" and drinking tequila! It is Cinco De Mayo, the 5th of May and why do we celebrate with bands, booze and indigestion?

Tonight  about midnight you are going to hear it, that song they play when the old year is gone and the new year is here. But why that song and what are the words and just what the heck do they mean?

With the Good Lord as my witness I thought this was just a made for TV holiday but it turns out for some, or should I say the "rest of us" it is Festivus!

I trust you have already visited our Toast of the Town feature at the top of this page. It is filled with great drink ideas and a demonstration video on how to make wonderful cocktails for yourself and your guests during the holidays. If however the occasion calls for something a bit more bubbly, might we suggest these intoxicating ideas.

This video is SO POLITICALLY CORRECT it OFFENDS EVERYONE!  Put your tongue in cheek and let out a holiday laugh along with us and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

There is something about this time of year which seems to bring out the best and worst in people. Maybe it's the pressure of the season but for some reason people seem to go off the deep end a lot more often around Christmas. Such is the case of a gentleman who faked a burglary in his own home in order to solicit more presents from a sympathetic public.

Laughter is truly the best medicine. That is why we always double up the dose when ever we can on the Bruce and the Kennel Club Morning show here on 97.3 The Dawg. Our friends at Saturday Night Live know a thing or two about laughter too. They have been making us double over for decades and around the holidays that is especially true with great skits and bits a plenty.

We all know the lines by heart, " You'll shoot your eye out" and "Every time a bell rings, an Angel gets his wings"  are classic examples of great lines from holiday classic movies. Well don't expect to get a popcorn kiss under the miseltoe this Christmas. The bottom line keepers in Tinsel Town are dimming the lights on Rudolph's nose and the Magic of Frosty's hat for those hop

You find it harder to concentrate, you don't seem to be getting any sleep at all, you're cranky and irritable is it the flu? Nope chances are it's the holidays. Yes 'tis the season when the desire to shop, decorate,wrap, carol, cavort and be merry gets many of us down. Well if you like all the trappings of the season but find your time and temper is a little short, don't fret, do what the big boys

Who's ready to rock out Holiday Style! We thank our good friend Troy Maturin for this gem:

I think we have all suffered through the song about the maids and the drummers and the five golden rings. I guess there are folks with more time than me this holiday season so they figured out how much it would cost to buy all the items listed in the song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" In the unlikely event that your Christmas list this year includes every item mentioned in "The Twe
