This year more than ever, holiday movies and TV sp

This year more than ever, holiday movies and TV specials offer a welcome distraction as 2020 comes to an end. This time of year, many families gather on the couch to watch traditional favorites. And whether it’s network TV or Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas, the options are plentiful. But in my opinion, there is one Christmas story which holds the title of being the most underrated. Allow me tell you about The Tailor of Gloucester. The story is about a poor tailor who is tasked with making a coat for the Mayor of Gloucester, who is to be married on Christmas Day. Meanwhile, hidden deep behind the walls of the tailor’s shop, a legion of mice overhear the tailor’s golden opportunity and take an interest in tailoring themselves. But when the tailor suddenly falls ill, the mice take it upon themselves to finish the coat before Christmas morning, as they want to see him succeed. By illustrating the importance of selflessly helping others while expecting nothing in return, it teaches a valuable lesson and embodies the Christmas spirit. And because of the mice, the tailor’s life changes forever. The Tailor of Gloucester can be viewed on YouTube as an animated adaptation. I highly recommend that you search it out; you won’t be disappointed!

Oreo and Bella Anne were two of the dogs Dolly’s

Oreo and Bella Anne were two of the dogs Dolly’s Legacy rescued earlier this year. My family became their fosters, as part of the volunteer-foster program where people bring rescues into their homes temporarily so they can adjust to family-living. Their journeys of growth were enough to teach me little things about how we, humans, should look at life, from the lense of a street dog. Lessons involving patience and gratitude are key in a world such as one we live in today, and fostering these two pups changed my perspective on how I do just that.

Lincoln currently has 108 pieces of public art within the city, 22 of them historically-based monuments. Now, you’ve probably seen some of the statues and carvings, such as the Iron Horse Stone downtown, or the Native American in Pioneer’s park.
