Blue Christmas in Madison

 2020, the gift that keeps giving.  The Richardson family announced on Facebook there will be no Christmas light show this year: 

THE RICHARDSON LIGHT SHOW WILL BE CLOSED FOR THE 2020 SEASON.🎄🚨
 
Due to major road construction going on in our vicinity, we will not present The Richardson Light Show in 2020. We will miss seeing you this year, but hope to be back in 2021, pending construction status at that time. It is our sincere wish that you and your family have a blessed and joyful Christmas Season, and remember, “Jesus is the Reason for the Season.”

If you've never actually seen it because it is almost impossible to see the whole display in the one to two minutes while you are sitting in front of the house, here is a video from last year.

And the liberal democrat war on anything Christian can claim another victory. May God have mercy on this heathen land.

Thank goodness! The traffic in the neighborhood is ridiculous.

Thanks China!

Sad because after election day many of us will be having lots of Blue Christmas. I'm sorry it will be known as Blue Holiday.

We were in hopes there would be at least ONE positive outcome of the Hoy boondoggle. Thank you Jesus.

"...and there was great rejoicing, except from entergy, who will miss the demand."

The cops who sat there for six hours making overtime will hate to hear this. And Southern Living magazine will kick Madison to the curb. What time do Mayor Truly plug in the lights up to Canton?

Well, let's be honest, There is no rhyme or reason to the display. It's as if someone went to Walmart and every other store that sold Christmas decorations and threw them out there. They could have a better display with only half of the decorations. Whispering Pines and the adjacent subdivision was a nice example of how to do it right. Unfortunately, people don't decorate their homes as much as they used to.

" Whispering Pines and the adjacent subdivision was a nice example of how to do it right."

AMEN !

The Whispering Pines Christmas decorations were the best neighborhood displays within the City of Jackson.

The adjacent subdivision was spectacular as well.

Being from Northeast Jackson, we had some great Christmas displays as well . . the Alvis family's Christmas Village was one of the best up there !

But it was still so fun to drive down Raymond Road.

And driving into the Whispering Pines neighborhood was "magical' as some say now. The girls had their wine (in the back seat) and the guys were taking bourbon shots in the front seat.

No one got a DUI, and we all had fun.

It make's me sad those days are gone forever.

"Things are going to be really bad soon." What things? Are you referring to the end of mankind either biblically or through Faucism? Inquiring minds want to know.

Dang, Kingfish . . .

It's not even November, and I'm ready for your eggnog recipe.

Just today I noticed Christmas decorations are already up on the light poles in Canton and the frost ain't even on the punkin yet.

This is the time of year cities start putting up the Christmas Decorations. Hope they didn't trigger you. Saw eggnog in Kroger the other day. And eggnog ice cream. I'm ready for some Nog.

Will be a Merry Christmas for all the neighbors!

(Excuse me, Miss, but do you have any...)
Blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree?
I want some blue Christmas lights just as blue as me
The one I love has set me free, but I still got her memory
Give me blue Christmas lights for my Christmas tree

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Jackson Jambalaya is the home of Trollfest '07. Catch this great event which promises to leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
