 Sad to know where all the best toys are and this December many of the hunter's smartphones are just a penny with service in Appalachian Wireless. Stop by your local Appalachian Wireless to check out all of the great smartphone deals that consistently top the nice lists. Ho, ho, this Christmas is truly going to be bigger and better than ever. Better service, bigger savings, that is. Ho, ho, ho, ho, ho. That's today's Appalachian Wireless. Ever wonder what Christmas was like before Black Friday or even Cyber Monday? Well, folks in Johnson County were given the opportunity to experience an old-fashioned Christmas here at the Mountain Home Place. We actually try to change things around to make people realize what Christmas used to be about. And on our farm, which is an 1850s farm, we do the live nativity scene. We do the Christmas story in the church, and then in our cabin we give away hot chocolate and cookies. The first season that we did it, we didn't actually take people on to the farm. We had everything set up out front, you know, our nativity scene, everything set up front. And so last year we decided, you know, to move everything on to farms so people could see how it looked in the 1850s. It takes you back. If you grew up in Eastern Kentucky like I did, it takes you back to kind of their childhood. And we grew up, or I did, on like a farm. And it just takes you back, and you relive that. So that's what makes it so enjoyable for me, you know. I love that aspect of it. Well, that's probably why we came here even this summer. We liked that aspect of being here and just enjoyed it so much. And when they mentioned the Christmas event that they were going to have here, I was like, wow, we've got to come back and see that. That's just going to be awesome. And so far we've really enjoyed ourselves. For more information on the mountain home place, visit them on the web at www.visitpaintsvilleky.com.
