Minden, Nebraska has been known as the Christmas City ever since Santa Claus himself made the declaration in 1923. The Kearney County Courthouse's bright red and green lights can be seen from miles away and the community's annual Light of the World Pageant brings visitors from across the region. “People really gasp when they see those lights," said Jack Hultquist, a longtime Minden resident. Now, the community is looking for ways to keep its traditions going for the next 100 years.

One city in China produces 80 per cent of the world's Christmas decorations.Yiwu International Trade City exports more than 20,000 types of Christmas products to more than 100 countries, with Europe and the Americas the most important markets for most producers. That's a lot of plastic Christmas trees, wreaths, baubles, life-size elves, tinsel and flickering lights.When Irish Times Beijing correspondent Denis Staunton visited, he found manufacturers with a clear idea of just what westerners want and the emerging trends – there's a new trend towards pastel coloured decorations, including trees.He tells In the News that although Communist Party members are forbidden from practising religion, Christian churches are allowed to operate under the supervision of the authorities. But some state schools have recently been discouraging children from marking western holidays such as Halloween and Christmas, urging them to celebrate Chinese traditions instead.Presented by Bernice Harrison.

There is a little out of the way place in the Ozarks, tucked down in the corner of Missouri, not far from Arkansas, not far from Oklahoma, that has carved out a name for itself during the Christmas holiday. A few things had to fall into place, even a little change of name, to give rise to this mountain tradition, one that is still going strong today and one you can take part in!

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Wednesday, Dec. 20  “West Virginia's Christmas City” helps make the state the most festive in the nation. Weirton's new battery plant lands a big project in California. And a grant will help restore an Amtrak route that goes through 9 West Virginia counties…on today's daily304. #1 – From BLUEFIELD DAILY TELEGRAPH – West Virginia's Christmas City is shining on a national level. A recent Fox News national report highlighted a study that found West Virginia to be the most festive state in the nation. That article zeroed in on Bluefield, which is West Virginia's trademarked Christmas City. It discussed the Holiday of Lights and other featured Christmas City attractions, including the ferris wheel, ice skating rink and Christmas Market, all of which are located at city park. City officials say the national attention will only help in making others across the nation aware of West Virginia's Christmas City. “I was pleasantly surprised, and it does further help our efforts,” Bluefield Mayor Ron Martin said. “I went through the park Saturday night, and it is phenomenal down there.” Check out www.visitmercercounty.com to learn more about happenings in Bluefield and the surrounding area.

The $30 million project will use Form's batteries to store and discharge power for 100 hours, according to the California Energy Commission. That fills a gap between solar generation during the day and wind generation at night. The energy captured at off-peak times can be discharged to the grid when demand is the highest. The batteries will be built in Weirton. Form Energy is building its plant on the former site of Weirton Steel and could employ 750 workers or more. Read more: https://wvpublic.org/form-energy-to-build-batteries-for-california-project-in-weirton/?es_id=416f4390f0   #3 – From WOWK-TV – Money is coming to help restore the daily Amtrak Cardinal Train route from Chicago to New York City by way of nine West Virginia communities. According to the City of Huntington, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Railroad Administration announced a $500,000 grant to help restore the route.  Huntington Mayor Steve Williams says the Corridor Identification & Development Program grant will help the company and the city figure out how to get the daily service back up and running, get it funded and bring economic development and tourism on the line to “new levels.” The route goes through nine towns in the Mountain State, which include Huntington, Charleston, Montgomery, Smithers, Thurmond, Prince, Hinton, Alderson and White Sulphur Springs. It is the only Amtrak route in the country with stations inside a national park.

On Christmas Eve, 1741, a small group of Moravian settlers gathered together in a house at the confluence of the Monocacy & Lehigh rivers in what was then the colony of Pennsylvania. It was on that night that their leader, Count Nikolaus Zinzendorf decided to name their new home “Bethlehem”, after the birthplace of Jesus. Over the years, the Moravian settlement grew into a thriving religious and economic community that eventually became known as “Christmas City”. In this episode of Your History Your Story, our guest is Craig Larimer. Craig is a lifelong resident of Bethlehem and a member of the Central Moravian Church, where he serves on the church's communications committee. Craig will talk about Bethlehem's rich history and why his home town means so much to him. He will also tell of the many sites and events that make Bethlehem, Pennsylvania a wonderful place to visit, especially at Christmastime.

Prescott has long been hailed as Arizona's Christmas City, but how did this central Arizona city come to gain this moniker? Brief History of Prescott Founded in 1864 as the Territorial Capital of Arizona, Prescott became known as a mining town with popular guests of the Wild West such as Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp. Three of the names originally proposed were “Audubon”, “Goodwin City” and “Aztlan”, the name “Prescott” was chosen in honor of William Hickling Prescott. The Arizona Miner reported that the name "Prescott" was accepted because Prescott, author of The History of the Conquest of Mexico, was... For the written story, read here >> https://www.signalsaz.com/articles/why-is-prescott-arizonas-christmas-city/

Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Friends don't have to agree on everything, right? Right. And this week, despite all the things we agree on wholeheartedly, my good friend NJ Rongner and I have very different opinions about a holiday movie. And you know what? It's okay! Totally okay. NJ is a woman of many hats. She works full time as a sales and marketing coach at Clickfunnels and is the founder of Working Christian Mom. She loves coffee, Jesus and Gilmore Girls. And for some reason, which she tries to explain to us today, she loves the California Christmas movies on Netflix.                                       Of course, because this is The Couch, where rabbit trails and side notes are always welcome, we don't stick to just holiday movies.

On Episode 83 of No Rain Date, we're delighted to interview two people whose efforts to promote Bethlehem's South Side as a unique holiday destination within the Christmas City have truly made them worthy of being on Santa's "nice list." Nicole Harrell and Addyson Young of ArtsQuest join us to discuss Christkindlmarkt--a large, festive craft market modeled after Germany's traditional outdoor Christmas fairs--as well as a fun-packed SteelStacks event schedule featuring some less traditional seasonal offerings. Some of the cool things happening in the shadow of the blast furnaces this December are A Golden Girls Drag Christmas and the Frank Banko Alehouse Cinemas' Holiday Quote-Along Series, where holiday film classics like National Lampoons' Christmas Vacation and It's A Wonderful Life will be on the marquee. Nicole explains how Christkindlmarkt has evolved since it first opened in 1992, and shares some pro tips for first-time visitors. As always, Josh has a local news roundup, including stories about South Bethlehem's expanding restaurant scene, a brazen flash robbery at a high-end beauty product store near Allentown and a new Letters to Santa mailbox at the Hellertown Post Office.

This episode features Michael Dombrosky of Christmas City Spirits. It all began, when a group of 4 coworkers who were rugby players, got together to share their love of the history of Bethlehem, PA. They formed the restaurant at Tavern at the Sun Inn. The next step was to bring the spirits into the tavern. Woody's family has a long history of distilling in the coal regions of Pennsylvania. His great grandmother would create Laudanum and make house calls to those with a variety of ailments. His family has a storied past of making Rye Whiskey. The owners crossed paths with Woody and they brought him on to distill their incredible spirits and unique recipes.

On Episode 71 of No Rain Date we're joined by Marcie Mulligan, Director of Cultural Education for the Celtic Cultural Alliance, which organizes Bethlehem's annual Celtic Classic. The three-day festival is a celebration of all things Celtic and a fall staple in the Christmas City, where it had to be canceled last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. Marcie explains how it has evolved and grown since it was first held in 1988, and how its organizers have adapted this year to ensure that a safe, fun event can be held. The 2021 Celtic Classic will be held Friday, Sept. 24 to Sunday, Sept. 26 in downtown Bethlehem, with shuttle service available from Valley Center Parkway. For more information, visit CelticFest.org. Celtic Cultural Alliance is an organization that promotes Celtic heritage in the Lehigh Valley all year-round, and Marcie tells about some of their other initiatives as well. As always, Josh has highlights from the week that was in local news, including an update on a fatal crash at the Jersey Shore involving a Coopersburg man and a benefit motorcycle ride--Pipes 4 Paws--that will end at Dewey Fire Co. in Hellertown Sept. 26.

To start the year off right, I read two true-crime books, a true-crime graphic novel, and a few short novels too! There has been a delay in my reading this week and quite possibly the next, but I read enough in January to make up the slack so will record in February with The Green River Killer, something on Isreal Keyes, and new horror releases update as ever.

In The Face Of A Pandemic, Christmas City Spirits Launched Booze Sanitizer Ingenuity:IN THE SPIRIT OF HISTORY: Alcohol played a major role in colonial America. You could even argue that massive taxes on the trade were a trigger for the American Revolution. The Moravians bought their distilling knowledge to Bethlehem in 1741 and the craft has had a presence throughout the entire region ever since. A group of Lehigh Valley friends brings back the authenticity and history of this tradition with products made with local sources.

You guys were listening and said, hey, we can't get bottles so let's go large volume and we'll go door to door truck style to the hospital to deliver it. So that's what we're doing. 15:00 - You know, it's hard. I wish I had more hours in a day, to be honest with you about that. That's always a factor and that was the case beforehand. I'm a financial advisor by day I know, my clients need to talk through things and look at how their financial plans are dong. Which by the way, has been upended by a virus, which came completely out of the blue, it's crazy. 22:00 - I think with success, America has become more divided. You know, for one reason or another, and this is a good reminder that, hey, we're all American. We're all in this together. 29:00 - I've always loved the science of money and that's what I studied in school. It's fascinating to me, what it does, how it compounds, and everything else. From the simplest case of realigning somebody's debt and how to pay off credit cards and things like that, when working with their budget, to significantly detailed estate plans that involve very complicated mechanisms. It's all very interesting to me. 38:20 - It's perseverance. A lot of people probably would just say, hey, we can do it once. Let's go home and do whatever. I don't sit still well and I don't like being told...

https://awesomers.com/144 - Show Notes You can find sourcing opportunities no matter where you go in China. It's about your attitude and your own responsbilities to make good decisions AND to participate in the development process. The Canton Fair has massive scale and opportunities. China in general is a wonderful place to source and the Canton fair specifically is a great place to go to learn more about China. There are all kinds of different product opportunities. You can really accelerate your business in China by attending a fair like this. Other sourcing methods can work too - don't feel stuck if you didn't goto the Canton fair. For example Yuwi is sometimes called "Christmas City" because so much of that year round trade zone is focused on Christmas related items. That opportunity is also huge. The trade issues continue to make news between the United States and China, but an important thing to remember is to be patient and that you can't control it so don't put too much energy into worrying about it. Things are proceeding and there appears to be a general sense of optimism to see some progress that is pro-trade and helpful for Amazon sellers and e-commerce sourcing in general.And regardless of USA-China situation there are many other choices and more coming in the future if there is a failure to resolve this issue. Remember that dealing with China regarding pricing and everything else is an equation - not a single action step to win. You must learn the process over time. Taking care to balance the Ying and Yang of pricing and quality is an essential skill. The Empowery Seattle Summit is almost here.
