7 p.m. Dec. 5A young boy must convince his parents that a toy

rifle is the only Christmas gift that will make Christmas worthwhile. Not only do his parents face what many other parents do during that time of the year, but their actions fit in with the All-American Christmas.

7 p.m. Dec. 10Will Ferrell stars as the ultimate fish out of water,

Buddy, who as a baby crawls into Santa’s toy bag and is whisked off to the North Pole, where he is raised as an elf. A misfit who grows to be three times the size of his elf family, Buddy ultimately heads to his birthplace of New York City to seek out his roots.

7 p.m. Dec. 12Facing Christmas 3,000 miles from his estranged wife

and two children, New York policeman John McClane flies to Los Angeles bearing presents and hoping to patch up his marriage. He then becomes the only hope for a small group of hostages, one of whom is his estranged wife, trapped in a Los Angeles high-rise building when it is seized by terrorists on Christmas Eve.

7 p.m. Dec. 19Produced and directed by Frank Capra, It’s A Wonderful

Life is based on the short story and booklet The Greatest Gift, which Philip Van Doren Stern wrote in 1939 and published privately in 1943. The film stars James Stewart as George Bailey, a man who has given up his dreams to help others,.

7 p.m. Dec. 17The comic misadventures of the beleaguered Gris-

wold family continue in the third and most successful en-try in the Vacation film series. This time America’s most dedicated dad, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), is deter-mined to stay at home to create “the most fun-filled old fashioned family Christmas ever” — but life has a particu-lar way of throwing wet logs on the Griswold family fire.

ADVERTISE In The MENORAH LIGHTING

Join us at Outlets of Little Rock (OutletsofLittleRock.com) in lighting the menorah near the Food Pavilion at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Dec. 23. Attendees will enjoy music and light refreshments. Rabbi Yosef Kramer, Lubavitch of Arkansas will be leading the Menorah Lighting.

Outlets of Little Rock is located at 11201 Bass Pro Parkway.


The Christmas season officially kicks off in Searcy when the Holiday of Lights gets underway during Thanksgiving Week.

“Holiday of Lights” is the umbrella title for every Christmas-related event that goes on in Searcy from the beginning of November through the end of the year.

“We like every holiday event in town to feel wel-come,” said Kristi Thurmon, Holiday of Lights commit-tee member. “The goal of Holiday of Lights is to bring more people to Searcy. When more people come, everyone wins. Plus, it’s just more fun the more people you have.”

Holiday of Lights was brought back to Searcy in 2015. Since its return, thousands of Arkansans make the trek to Searcy every year to take part in dozens of holiday events, including light displays, carriage rides, unique shopping experiences, skating in Spring Park, and the Living Nativity.

“The courthouse is not going to have as many lights this year because it’s undergoing a restoration project in the month of December,” said Thurmon. “However, we are going to have more lights down-town on the other buildings than ever before. We are putting lights all the way down Spring Street and on the buildings around the courthouse.”

You can still expect to be ‘wowed’ by the lights. Berryhill Park always features close to a million twin-kling bulbs shaped into dozens of holiday-themed dis-plays. With the lighting ceremony moving to Berryhill, Thurmon says they’ve upped their game this year.

“We have really beefed up Berryhill and ordered a lot more lights,” said Thurmon. “When we started Holiday of Lights, we actually had lighting ceremonies

both downtown and at Berryhill. We’re lucky to have two areas that are so perfect for this kind of event.”

There are a few other new things at this year’s lighting ceremony, including a new emcee. KATV’s Barry Brandt will take over emceeing duties from Ned Perme who retired from KATV. Perme, who had emceed the ceremony since its inception, made his final public appearance on behalf of the station at last year’s lighting ceremony.

There will also be a unique installation at Berryhill that Thurmon believes visitors will really enjoy.

“A collection of local artists have painted some wooden Christmas trees that are going to be on display at Berryhill,” said Thurmon. “They will be auctioned as a fundraiser for Holiday of Lights.”

Along with the lights, attendees will be able to enjoy hot chocolate as well as s’mores prepared by First Security Bank on the Teal Grill. There will also be musical performances by the Searcy High School band and the Van Patten Handbell Choir from Searcy First United Methodist Church.

Searcy’s Santa made his first appearance at the lighting ceremony. Afterword he will make regular appearances in the Santa Hut on the Courthouse Square through Dec. 24th. Kids can visit with Santa, get a picture, and let him know what they’d like for Christmas.

Berryhill Park won’t be the only lights on display in Searcy. Harding University will flip the switch on more than one million LED lights on Monday, December 2nd. Visitors can enjoy free hot chocolate and Christ-mas music at the lighting ceremony then come back to enjoy the lights again through New Year.

The annual Searcy Christmas Parade will be held

the evening of Saturday, December 7th. The parade will take its usual path around downtown before heading down Race Street and finishing at Berryhill Park.

“It’s really neat that anyone can enter the parade,” said Tillie Slavin, Searcy resident and parade enthu-siast. “All they have to do is have lights on their float. It’s so much fun to bundle up and see the lights and creativity on each float. It’s a great family activity and I’m so excited to bring my daughter for the first time.”

For those looking for less tradition and more unique holiday events, you can start early by tak-ing in one of the largest Santa collections in the United States. 85-year-old Wanda Emde spent over 50 years collecting nearly 1,700 Santa pieces for her collection, most of which are on display at the Carmichael Community Center.

CONWAY

Now in its third year, Illuminate kicked off Nov. 24 at Rogers Plaza around Conway’s 54-foot-tall Christmas tree. Illuminate features a Ferris wheel, mini-train rides for kids, live music, a food truck, horse-drawn carriage rides, photo opportunities with an oversized snowman and gingerbread man, and, of course, a visit from Santa Claus! The events at Rogers Plaza will be going on nightly through Dec. 23 but the tree will stay lit until Dec. 31.

Mistletoe Madness kicks off the final two weeks before Christmas. On Dec. 8, you’ll find store-wide holiday markdowns at partici-pating downtown Conway merchants. Finish the day downtown with the Conway Christmas Parade at 6 p.m.

Sunday, Dec. 9 beginning at 10 a.m. local makers holiday mar-ket will be open on Oak St. between Parkway and Locust St.

with Santa” display is available for viewing through December. You can also find other pieces of her collection around town.

When you’re in town for the parade on December 7th, make sure and visit Searcy’s Pioneer Village for their annual Old-Fash-ioned Christmas.

“Definitely stop by Pioneer Village,” said Thurmon. “We’re very lucky to have a historical society that does such a great job, both with the village overall and the holiday event in particular. People look forward to that all year.”

“Then of course there’s the Living Nativ-ity,” said Thurmon. “It draws thousands of people every year.”

After taking 2018 off to rebuild parts of the display, the Living Nativity is back at Searcy First Assembly of God. Visitors can drive through Bethlehem and witness the story of the birth of Jesus, like a living story-

book. The event is free and draws between 10-13 thousand people each year.

“There are so many events to mention,” said Thurmon. “The ‘It’s a Wonderful KLife Fun Run’, the ‘Annual Tour of Homes’ that the Women of Harding do such a great job with. There are shopping experiences like the Holiday Craft Fair and Holiday Pop Up Shop. Don’t forget Skating at Spring Park which is back for a third year.”

One other new event to mention; the Polar Express Party. Main Street Searcy will host a showing of the now classic Christ-mas film at the historic Rialto Theatre in downtown Searcy at 10 am on Saturday, December 14th. The event costs $7 and includes hot chocolate, a bell—like in the movie—and the opportunity to take selfies with Santa. Kids are encouraged to come in their pajamas. Proceeds benefit Main Street Searcy.

You can find the full list of events at the Searcy Holiday of Lights Facebook page where details and information are posted regularly.
