Good morning, Wichita Falls.

The Wichita Falls Area Food Bank hosted its first holiday food distribution today to help local families facing hardship.

CEO David O’Neil said the event — made possible by generous donors — brought the community together this season.

The Brown family is lighting up its home on 6650 Southwest Parkway with over 500,000 colorful, Candyland-themed lights, including a working ski lift and new light wall, and welcomes visitors every night at 6 p.m. until January 6th.

Mannheim Steamroller will bring its classic holiday tunes to Texoma with a concert featuring 15 musicians and over 20 instruments.

The performance will mix classical, rock and modern sounds to create a festive, immersive experience.

The city will adjust holiday trash service — for Christmas, pickups move from Dec.

25 to Dec. 24 and from Dec. 26 to Dec. 27, with no organics on Dec. 24 and facilities closed until Dec. 26; for New Year’s, service moves to Dec. 31 with facilities closed Jan. 1.

City offices are closing for a three-day holiday break, with county and state offices also closed on Dec.

24, 25 and 26. Most grocery stores and retailers offer shortened hours on Christmas Eve (Aldi closes at 4 p.m.) and remain closed on Christmas Day, while restaurants and theaters stay open.
