Since our Big Blue Crew is gearing up to go on the road this weekend to Christmas In July, the annual food drive to benefit Interchurch Social Services, I decided that I would do this week’s Who Knew Wednesday all about Christmas!

For information on Christmas in July, you can click here.

First, I shared some fun facts about Christmas trees, which you can find here and here.

I also shared some information on Christmas shopping. You can check out the infographic on that over here.

You can find the Top 10 American Christmas Traditions list that I shared by clicking here.

The fun facts I shared about Christmas cards is here.

And, my favorite list, the Top 50 Christmas Toys of the Last 100 Years, which shows the most popular Christmas toys by decade, is over here.

Our word of the day was nabob, a noun meaning a person of great wealth or importance. You can read more about that here.

Have an awesome Wednesday evening!

Mystery Monday – July 6th

Jess holding fireworks for AD blogToday was Mystery Monday on the Afternoon Drive and we had the return of the Mystery Box! Joe hid something in the box, and Linda from Utica correctly called in and guessed that it was croutons!

We recapped our WNZR Fireworks Viewing Party, where I got this picture Joe talked about on the show of me “holding” fireworks. Thanks to everyone who came out and enjoyed the Mount Vernon fireworks with us on Friday night!

Our Word of the Day was neophilia, a noun meaning love or enthusiasm for what is new or novel. You can read more about it here.

We also talked about Christmas in July, which is happening this Saturday, July 11th. There will be collection sites open all over Knox County and our Big Blue Crew will be going on the road, traveling to various locations from 10 am – 12 pm, to give you live updates. You can find a list of needed items here.

Have a great week!
