What a blessing that we live on the Gulf Coast and have such a wonderful abundance of seafood to choose from. I love boiled and fried shrimp, fish of all makes and models, raw oysters, fried and grilled, but my all-time favorite is crab cakes. 

Mississippi is known as The Hospitality State, so as a whole, we genuinely excel in being kind and generous.

Kindness should be given every day, not just during the holiday season. However, there are many opportunities during the holidays to reach out to those in need and, if nothing else, give our time.

The most magical time of year gives you the most magical event, The Gulfport Harbor Lights Winter Festival.

As the sun sets, the magic of the holidays beams brightly on the MS Coast. Every evening, starting at 5:30pm and running through 10:30pm, from November 24 – December 31, 2023, over 1.5 million LED lights gleam across the 40-acre Jones Park in Gulfport Harbor.

he Annual Christmas Festival is returning to Canton, MS this year. “The City of Lights” is back and even brighter than ever before. Get ready to see the most beautiful, bright, and vibrant lights in the state of Mississippi. Along with that, activities for you and your family to enjoy throughout the holiday season! 

It’s official! Thanksgiving is over, and the departure of the turkey and its dreaded leftovers ushered in “the most wonderful time of the year.”
Even before Andy Williams started singing these iconic lyrics in 1963, most American kids looked forward to Christmas all year.
