A river cruise on the Rhine and Moselle Rivers would give us a view of vineyards and historic castles. Let's go!

Thanksgiving weekend 2025 marks the 45th year of this beloved holiday celebration. Uncover the charm of Downtown McKinney as it transforms into a festive winter wonderland filled with local art, unique holiday shopping, delicious eats, live performances, and fun for all ages.

Beginning at 5:30 p.m., Dickens Carolers will serenade guests around the historic Fannin County Courthouse as businesses and organizations sell hot cocoa, cider, cookies and more to help raise funds for the Fannin County non-profit organization of their choice. At 6:00 p.m., we will flip the switch to light up the beautiful 30' Christmas tree, generously donated by Bonham Chrysler in 2015, to bring Christmas magic back to the Bonham square.

Lights on the Farm will return to Heritage Farmstead Museum for its 5th holiday season from November 28 to December 28 with more than two million dazzling lights once again adorning the 19th-century historical site’s 13 original buildings. Located at 1900 West 15th Street in Plano, the event welcomes around 30,000 each year with charming light displays set against the Heritage Farm Museum’s more than four acres of charming year-round attractions.

It wasn't supposed to be this river cruise. We wanted to explore the wines of Portugal. Instead, we found the Rhine, the Moselle, and castles!

1963 – Lee Harvey Oswald, the assassin of President John F. Kennedy, is killed by Jack Ruby on live television. Robert H. Jackson takes a photograph of the shooting that will win the 1964 Pulitzer Prize in Photography. Lee Harvey Oswald (October 18, 1939 – November 24, 1963) was a U.S. Marine veteran who assassinated John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, on November 22, 1963. Oswald shot and killed Kennedy on November 22, 1963, from a sixth-floor window of the Texas School Book Depository as Kennedy traveled by motorcade through Dealey Plaza in Dallas. About 45 minutes after assassinating Kennedy, Oswald murdered Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit on a local street. He then slipped into a movie theater, where he was arrested for Tippit's murder. Oswald was charged with the assassination of Kennedy, but he denied responsibility for the killing, claiming that he was a "patsy" (a fall guy). Two days later, Oswald himself was murdered by local nightclub owner Jack Ruby on live television in the basement of Dallas Police Headquarters.
