There are moments in life when you don’t realize you’re stepping into something bigger than yourself. Back in 2009, the folks running the Edwards Street Fellowship Center food pantry called to say they were out of food. Not low. Out. Anyone who’s spent time in a kitchen knows the clock starts ticking the second you hear a sentence like that. Their clients were depending on them that week.

So said William Shakespeare, and it is especially so in Washington Parish. From the early days, our forebears were putting on and performing in shows and pageants. And it wasn't just at Peter Pan, a magical summer tradition and program featured in my column last summer. Fantastic local talent is found on the stage community-wide with schools the training ground.

I learned recently that there was a time when Christmas was not the biggest holiday of the year. Easter was the largest celebration among Christian households.
It was in fact retail stores who brought a great deal of hype to Christmas, creating characters such as Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to boost sales. The economy brought about this enormous celebration even though St. Nicholas in some form or another had been visiting children to leave gifts for centuries before.
