CJ and Debbie Ray

So many times I hear not so rich people, say not so nice things about rich people. I'm guilty of it myself. Is it out of jealousy?

I recently learned that All Seasons Nursery on Johnston, in keeping with tradition, named their Christmas trees again this year. Except this year, they included the names of the KTDY air staff. There was a JayCee tree, a Steve Wiley tree and Debbie Ray and I also had a tree named after us.

This Japanese method of 'speed - wrapping' gifts is easy to learn and will help you save time and avoid frustration this holiday season.

I saw a commercial for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital on television today. It was followed by a commercial for Keeping Up With the Kardashians. That got me to thinking.

I must be a terrible person. I can't watch those commercials about abused dogs and cats when they come on television. After I saw the very first one, I've never watched another one all the way through.

The 80s gave us some of the most amazing music, movies, and even commercials of all time.

Brian Piccolo, Mark Zuckerberg, Mandy Patinkin, Kaley Cuoco, Chrissy Teigen, and Mousse

Natalie Wood, Michael Jackson, Howie Mandel, Andrew McCarthy, Don Cheadle, Anna Faris, and Lemon Cream Pie all have today in common.

As a nation, have we lost the meaning of Christmas? Have we become too focus on the indulgence of material things? And what are we teaching our children?

The Miles Perret Cancer Services Giving Tree Program is an annual holiday gift giving program to help and comfort to families dealing with cancer during the holidays.

President Clinton, Isley Brothers, Berry Gordy Jr., Paul Shaffer, Jon Stewart, Chase Elliott, and French Toast all have today in common.

On my way back into town after the Thanksgiving holiday, I was craving a sandwich like I used to get at my grandma's so I stopped into a Subway just outside of Lafayette. I met a gentleman there who taught me a valuable lesson.

Tiger Woods, Prince Harry, Bill Nye, Caroline Kennedy, Jaleel White, Bavarian Cream Pie, and Cabbage Patch Dolls all have today in common. Here's how:

One morning, I guess a little over a month ago, we ended the show at 10am and Debbie Ray asked me if I had a second. And I know it sounds weird, but I knew what she was going to say to me. She said, "I wanted you to be the first to know that I've decided to retire". And I said, "I always said when it was time, you'd know." And that was it.

King Tut, Boston Strangler, Squeaky Fromme, Tina Turner, John McVie, DJ Khaled, Cake, Cookies, and Cyber Monday all have today in common. Here's how:

Christmas trees are such a beautiful site this time of year. I wish we kept them up all year, a 'Christmas' trees. Depending on who you talk to, it's almost sacrilegious to have a fake Christmas tree. To others, it's the only way to go.

I want to give my hard earned money to local businesses and I hope you do too. But there are some locals who beg me to shop local, but when I go into their stores I get my feelings hurt.

Debbie made a plea to Acadiana, saying that donating to that event would be "the greatest favor" that could be done for her.

After all the delicious food on Thanksgiving, most people plan their Black Friday shopping, but people in this industry are working hard!

What part did Louisiana play in the confusion between sweet potatoes and yams?
