I feel like bakery owners are naturally very helpful to others and just overall kind people. Like this bakery in England called Brickyard Bakery. They have opened up their facility and oven to anyone in the area who might need to bake some treats for the holidays. Engery costs have skyrocketed over in England so doing it at home could be very costly. Brickyard are letting people do it free of charge. All they need to do is drop off whatever it is their making all set to go in the oven. Cakes, breads, cookies, whatever it may be. Then a few days later they can come pick it up.
If you celebrate Christmas you probably have you tree up already in the living room. Usually anywhere from 4 feet to 7 or 8 feet for standard home. Then we have the big trees in the center of town or at Rockefeller Center which seem massive. But none of the come close to the tallest Christmas tree of all time.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the tallest Christmas tree ever was a 221-foot Douglas fir displayed in Seattle, Washington back in 1950. For a little perspective, 221 feet is more than 20 stories tall. Skyscraper type height. Insane!
I’m not sure anything will beat that record, but if there is a tree that will do it probably has many more years to go before it grows to that height.

A Florida police officer named Lou Caputo pulled people over this week in the school zone her works in. But when he came up to the window the people got a festive surprise as he was dressed as The Grinch! He’s been doing it around the holidays for years now so it’s a tradition for the people in that area.
If they were only going 5 mph or less over the limit he would let them choose between a speeding ticket, or an onion. Based on the scene in the Jim Carrey version of The Grinch where he eats a raw onion.
Lou doesn’t make people eat it, but he says he has seen people take a bite anyway.
