Merry Christmas Eve, Eve
On the eve of Christmas eve, what’s a girl to do? Not a whole heck of a lot, apparently. Although I did scrape and find a few events to tide you over until the big show on Christmas morn. Tonight, Lovers Lane United Methodist Church is hosting “Everybody’s Christmas” service and dinner at 7 p.m. I assume we are all invited. On Friday, if the kiddos haven’t already been shipped out to the JCC, then send ‘em off to Town North YMCA, where childcare is available from 7:45 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Update: Car Crash on Bush’s Lawn Never ‘An Executive Threat’
According to reports from the Dallas Police Department, around 8:30 p.m. last night a car crashed onto former president George W. Bush’s lawn in the 10100 block of Daria Place. While the incident had reportedly been labeled “an executive threat,” no one with Dallas Police Department or the Secret Service could confirm that Thursday morning.
“We don’t put labels on things so that definitely did not come from us,” said Robert Caltabiano, assistant special agent in charge with the Secret Service.
Caltabiano said the Secret Service dealt with the incident “fast and efficiently,” and identified it was a single car accident over which Dallas police has jurisdiction.
“Once we realized it was a local, single car accident it was no longer a matter for the Secret Service,” he said.
Dallas police Sr. Cpl. Gerardo Monreal said the driver collided with a tree and landscaping before coming to a stop.

Man Drives Car Onto Former President’s Daria Place Lawn
I wonder if former President George W. Bush actually got to say, “GET OFF MY LAWN, YOU WHIPPERSNAPPER!” That would’ve been hilarious.
According to reports from Channel 11, a guy lost control of his 1970s Mercury Cougar and crashed into the Bush family’s front lawn last night. Initially, Secret Service agents reported the accident as an “executive threat,” which sounds pretty darn serious.
The guy, whose name hasn’t yet been released, was allegedly heading to a friend’s house nearby when his accelerator became stuck. The Bushes, who are just fine, thank you, “appreciate the work of the United States Secret Service and Dallas Police Department in responding to the incident.”
Let’s just say that’s a really bad place to lose control of your car. Be careful out there, folks.

Save The Best For Last

The steeple to the the new Providence Presbyterian Church is shadowed in the late afternoon sun.
Providence Presbyterian Church is working on the finishing touches for its new campus at Midway Road and Royal Lane. Crews have yet to erect the building’s steeple, but pastor David Rea is hoping to have the place in working order for Christmas Eve services. The church, which has been meeting at Franklin Middle School for five years, has an official opening on Sunday, Jan. 9.
