Your Guide for a Perfect Mississippi Thanksgiving
SUMMARY: As autumn ends, Mississippi gears up for Thanksgiving—a time often overshadowed by Christmas. This special holiday revolves around gatherings with family and friends to share a feast. In Mississippi, the essence of Thanksgiving is encapsulated in three Fs: Family, Food, and Football. It's important to remember that perfection isn't necessary for a joyous celebration; gratitude and company are key. Traditional food includes turkey, dressing, casseroles, and desserts like pumpkin pie. Engaging the kids with cookie and cupcake decorating adds to the fun. Football games are also a staple, either watched or played, completing the Mississippi Thanksgiving experience.

History of Lucedale’s Annual Christmas Parade
SUMMARY: The Lucedale Christmas Parade, a much-anticipated annual event, has been delighting the community since 1955, with Santa Claus as the centerpiece. The first parade featured 14 themed floats, including ones inspired by Mother Goose characters, sponsored by local clubs and organizations. Originally, in 1950, Santa would arrive escorted by the sheriff and high school band. The parade has evolved, with the Jaycees and later the Rotary Club taking over as sponsors, and the addition of a Grand Marshal started in 1990. The parade now boasts over 70 entries and is considered one of South Mississippi's best, with this year's Grand Marshals being the state champion high school girls' softball team.
