"Buy a Christmas Tree Day"
Christmas Tree History:
Did a celebration around a Christmas tree on a
bitter cold Christmas Eve at Trenton, New Jersey, turn the tide
for Colonial forces in 1776? According to legend, Hessian
mercenaries were so reminded of home by a candlelit evergreen
tree that they abandoned their guardposts to eat, drink and be
merry. Washington attached that night and defeated them. Some
historians trace the lighted Christmas tree to Martin Luther. He
attached lighted candles to a small evergreen tree, trying to
simulate the reflections of the starlit heaven -- the heaven
that looked down over Bethlehem on the first Christmas Eve.
The Christmas tree is a symbol of a living Christmas spirit and
brings into our lives a pleasant aroma of the forest. Written by:

George Wallace: “I Be Thinking”
“I Be Thinking,” says comedy master
George Wallace, and that’s the signature title of his
headline show playing at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino.
And he certainly is a thinking man with a mind for
marketing when it comes to creating, performing and
sustaining as one of the top-rated shows on the Las
Vegas Strip. Plus, he is known for his charity, helping
families and children…….....

The popular show ‘Last Comic

with another version of their show, but it would be fun

a ‘voice-off.’..... |

Each December, The Lakes Association sponsors
the Lakes Festival of Lights… a major
holiday celebration that brings together
the residents of all the communities in
The Lakes area near West Sahara. This
event really has it all… from food to
fun to entertainment. And it brings
together our entire community for a
beautiful occasion to kick off the
holidays. The Lakes Festival of Lights
provides a great opportunity for us all
to meet our neighbors, enjoy our
community and just have a great time.
And of course, this event would not be
complete without the grand finale... the
Electric Light Boat Parade… a fantastic
procession of beautifully lit boats
reflecting off the waters of Lake
Sahara.
The 2008 Lakes Festival of Lights will be held
on Saturday, December 13 from 12 noon
until 6 p.m. The event is open to the
public and admission is free of charge. |
