Christmastime is Here

'Tis the season!

Milwaukee's
CHRISTMAS TREE was lit on Wednesday.

The Salvation Army bell ringers are already at their red kettles.

Santa is staked out in some malls to visit with boys and girls.

And the traditional parades are set to usher in the season.


TMJ4 has posted a list of holiday appearances by its on air personalities.

Anchors Carole Meekins and Mike Jacobs lead off for TMJ4 by appearing in Milwaukee's parade tomorrow, scheduled to kick off at 9:30 AM.

It's Milwaukee's
81st annual "Holiday Parade." (Note: For the vast majority of those 81 years, it was known as the "Christmas Parade.")

I noticed that there are no TMJ4 sportscasters scheduled to be in any parades, at least not at this point. That duty apparently falls to the news and weather departments. The parades are mainly Saturday and Sunday events. That may have something to do with why the sportscasters have no appearances scheduled.

This might be of interest to some.


John Mercure will be appearing in the Menomonee Falls parade on Sunday, November 25. That means deadbeat dads and moms, online predators, and fallen Catholic priests can breathe a bit easier for a few hours that day.

Let this holy season of glad tidings, good cheer, and joy begin!
