Elves Spreading Joy Be Entertained In Mt Juliet Community Features Local Events News Uncategorized by Livi West - November 30, 2021November 30, 20210 I grew up rather poor, but we called my Dad “Father Christmas.” He could handcraft a holiday better than any of the other elves I have ever known, which is really saying something because I know a lot of elves. I am one. Admittedly, I am rather tall to be an elf, but elfing is a culture as well as a race. This is my 10th Christmas working for Santa as co-director of Give A Little Christmas (GAL for short). Everybody knows that Santa’s North Pole elves make and deliver toys to all of the good girls and boys. A fact that is less well known is that population growth has caused a lot of necessary cutbacks. Santa can no longer
My Love Affair With Cars Be Entertained In Mt Juliet Community Features News by Guest - March 14, 2024March 14, 20240 written by Jennifer Samardak www.fiercemotorsports.net My first car was a 1983 Buick LeSabre with the 307 V8. I referred to it as a “couch on wheels.” That smooshy plush interior combined with a 10-year-old suspension that was designed to protect old folks’ bones when it was new, made for a floofy ride down back roads. I spent hours shining those bumpers with Simoniz Chrome Cleaner, getting that dried orange residue under my nails, and embracing the chemical scent. I learned how to (not) slide through intersections in the snow in that car. I learned the joy of having an old, barely hanging-on carburetor and having to shove a fork in it as part of the warm-up process on cold winter mornings. I
For The Love Of Community Community Features Meet Your Government News by Krys Midgett - March 12, 2024March 12, 20240 “My Christ told me to love my neighbor. He commanded me to love my neighbor. He didn’t say to love my neighbor who looks like me, thinks like me, worships like me, votes like me. He commanded me to love my neighbor. So everything I do with the police department, everything I do with this community….. I’m going to approach it from the position of love because if I do that, I can’t be wrong.” That is the leadership philosophy of the new Mt Juliet Chief of Police, Michael Mullins.

Red Light Therapy For Health Uncategorized by Guest - October 19, 2023October 18, 20230 So, you’ve heard of red light therapy but you aren’t sure what it is. This will help. What is red light therapy? Red light therapy involves the use of safe, gentle, and effective red light wavelengths to naturally stimulate the body’s production of collagen. This, in turn, helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, and scars and improve the overall appearance of your skin. Why would I want that? When you’re under 25 years of age, your body produces collagen to keep your skin firm. Once you pass that age your body’s collagen production starts to diminish drastically. In your late twenties, you start to see lines coming in where there were none before. Especially in areas

Origins Of Halloween Be Entertained In Mt Juliet Community Features Mt Juliet History News by Guest - October 18, 2023October 18, 20230 October brings early nightfall, brisk fall nights, pumpkins, cider, crunchy, colorful leaves, Halloween, and Dia de los Muertos. Halloween is rooted in our agricultural past, marking the end of harvesttime and the beginning of the new year. The origin of Halloween and many of its customs can be traced to Samhain (pronounced SAH-win), an ancient pagan Celtic festival that is Gaelic for “summer’s end,” a day to bid goodbye to warmth and light. It marks the end of the harvest season and the start of winter. The ancient Celts believed that the veil between the worlds of the living and the dead was at its thinnest during Samhain, making it the ideal time to communicate with the deceased and to divine the
