Happy Birthday JESUS!

"May this Holy Time of year renew your spirits and deliver an abundance of peace, joy, health and prosperity to you and yours"

Lights please…

 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night.

 ‘Lo, The Angel Of The Lord came upon them. The glory of the Lord shone round about them as they were so afraid and the the angel said onto them…

“Fear Not, For Behold I Bring You Tidings Of Great Joy!

Which Shall Be To All People!”

  For unto you was born this day, in the City of David, a

 “SAVIOR” tis “Christ The Lord!”

 

 

This shall be a sign unto you, you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger and suddenly, there was with the Angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God and saying…

  “Glory To God In The Highest And On Earth Peace, Good Will Toward Men”

 

…that’s what

CHRISTMAS

is all about…

Oh, yes, it looked so perfect until we got a wee bit closer and I said "Oh honey, what are ya thinking...it's a branch...a charlie brown!"... not that we shouldn't love the charlie browns...did that, done that...hmmmmm...needless to say that bad boy was chopped in true lumberjack style and nicely tucked in the back of the truck with reassurances that once it all falls out, it'll be just fine...

UH HUH!

Hellooooo Wisconsin!  

Yes, you did hear "That 70's Show" theme music in the bkgrnd...Happy, Happy Holidays!  I'm Deb Steinfest, aka CandH,  the Creative Services/Promotion Director for WFXS, FOX55 in Wausau, Wisconsin.

 It all began in 1999 and we haven't looked back since...everyday is fresh, new, excitement for what's going to happen that day and it's crazy fun with all the awesome production we do on a daily basis, wrapped with the season of sweeps promos of who watches what... I've been in the business for 23 years and I'm still loving it...all the last minute, need it yesterday, and absolutely, love, love the promotions we do that are community oriented...as a matter of fact ...if you haven't already signed up for the 2007 Jingle Bell Run/Walk for arthritis...there's still time...www.arthritis.org you can even sign up the morning of...it's Saturday, December 8th at the Wausau Center Mall...it's a wonderful event!  I hope everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving with family and friends...and if you partook of the annual "Black Friday!" frenzy...a  good time was had by all...it 's been a long standing tradition in my family...and, this one didn't fall short of complete craziness...up at 2.  

Oh yes that is 2 AM.  

...my daughters, godson and niece are all half asleep, but we're enroute...they picked me up at 2:30, we were in line at 3, strategically placing persons at stores throughout the area...did a bit of browsing at another just to make sure we could locate the goods in a timely manner, I mean come on let's think about, we're there and we WANT IT...once scouted out, we exit the location and as my godson and I leave the front doors, a white car comes speeding towards us (unbeknownst to us at the time it was my other two nephews), my god son who is just 2 steps behind me sees the car, pushes past me well I should say plows past me as he reaches safety...mind you my godson is 6ft and then some, a strapping lad!  Talk about saving himself...LOL...my side still is still a bit bruised as he launched himself past me to safety...let's not save the aunty though...good god, I felt like the Seinfeld episode when someone yells FIRE and George bolts past the women and small children as he heads out the door!

WARNING: SHAMLESS SHOW PLUG COMING (we air back to back episodes of Seinfeld at 6 & 6:30pm, weekdays on FOX55)...wheeeee...what can I say I'm a Seinfeld fan.

 WOW what can I say we gave him unrelentess backlash...are ya kidding me...and what can I tell ya, he'll never live  it done...but, if  you missed all the madness of  the big day when all retailers across the country, cross their fingers and mark down their prices  in hopes that St. Nick lets them ring in the New Year in the black...FOX55 is having a little Jingle Bell Fun Promotion on their own...I'm not going to give it away...you absolutely have to watch us and you'll get all the details, but, I'll tell ya this... the  prizing is fabuous! Gifts for you...or....Re-gifts (aw, come on, everyone does it...and remember, there's just 30 shopping days left to Christmas...must run...the sugar plum fairies are waiting...
