This is Christmas Eve, a time of gathering families close together and to wind down from the hectic weeks of shopping and mailing. But it also a night of wrapping presents, especially toys — some of which have to be put together. Some parents will discover to their dismay that some treasure has been overlooked, or that batteries are not included with their purchases and head out into the cold, hoping to find an open store with the right solutions. Santa’s elves get plenty of help for U.S. toy makers. There are 524 enterprises across the country producing games, toys and children’s vehicles. These businesses employ almost 7,200 workers. And around $40 billion worth of goods are bought online or by mail order in December, the peak month of the year.

JJ……U & your fellow Hendersonians have lots to be thankful for. Surviving another year w/o getting robbed or better yet killed living in the drug infested city & county. I mean where else in the USA can you Murder people in broad daylight in a parking lot of a city hotel & be offered a Plea Deal 4 manslaughter & only have to serve 3-4 years in Prison b/c of “credit for time served in the County Jail? It looks GOOD on the “books” as a conviction but is it really Justice?
You can be thankful for being on the bottom of the school systems in NC 4 Graduation Rate…but don’t be discouraged…..your area is @ the top of Teen Pregnancy!!!
Let’s not mention the Unemployment Rate…you’re up @ top of that list too. My advice is to keep electing council members & commissioners who fail to pay their taxes & your area will con’t to be the punchline of many jokes!! Let’s not 4get your Board of Education……yes Hendersonians you have lots to be thankful for!!!!!
did i say i was from henderson didnt you get sued from the last owner
JJ….Sorry dear…wrong person!!! I do have a friend named Sue though. She is a very nice lady but she is like many others in the big ole’ city of Henderson; stuck in a house that she can’t sell!! She has been trying to sell it for the past 3-4 years w/o any luck. All the potential buyers look at the Crime Stats, School System, & those intelligent elected officials in your area and as fast as they get interested in the house and price….they RUN the other way just as fast…if not FASTER!!!
