Garden Glow events across the country provide a way to experience gardens in a whole new way during the winter months.
Held at botanical gardens and estates, the after-dark events feature countless twinkling lights and often include music, interactive displays and even hot chocolate and s’mores.
For the first time, the Madison Station Botanic Garden in Madison is sparkling during its Holiday Glow from 4:30-10 p.m. nightly through Jan. 7. The Glow is a free event.

We traditionally host a Christmas Eve dinner for family, a few friends and neighbors. Every year, we have a theme to “celebrate” during the dinner. Our theme dictates our menu and I find it easier to narrow down my menu for the evening.

On the day that I wrote this article I wasn’t quite sure where my inspiration would come from. There are the happy holidays that seem like the obvious thing to write about. It seems like everything that can be said about that has already been said. Next week, the week of Christmas, I will write about some of the places I have spent some of my Christmas days in the past. We are decorated and plan to have the entire family together for Christmas Eve brunch. My family has grown so much this year with both of our children getting married and my nieces and nephews having babies.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin probably isn’t sitting at the popular table of today’s Washington Republicans because he worked for President George W. Bush two decades ago.
In 2001-02 he was the chief economist of Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers, and from 2003-05 he was director of the Congressional Budget Office. He also was the chief economic policy adviser for Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, which further excludes him from influence with President Trump’s people.

The Jackson Zoo currently is receiving visitors and can accept payments with all three cash and credit cards and debit cards.
The zoo changed ownership in 2019, becoming a city-owned zoological park under the then-serving mayor of Jackson Chokwe Antar Lumumba. Before it was run by a non-profit, the Jackson Zoological Society.
Lumumba then partnered with ZOOceanarium, LLC, out of the city of Dubai, in the UAE, to manage the Jackson Zoo but that deal fell through in 2021.
Currently the Jackson's Department of Parks & Recreation are running the zoo.

It’s that time of year when we contemplate the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. After thousands of years struggling in the darkness, man gets to come face to face with his maker, who takes on flesh. You know the rest of the story. Unspeakable tragedy followed by unspeakable joy.
Before I decide to write my Christmas column, I like to review some of the ones from the past. Usually, I decide to write something new. But this time, this column from 2008 — 17 years ago — caught my eye. It is as follows:
