SUMMARY: Feeding wildlife can be enjoyable, but it’s important to remember that many animals can find their own food and may become dependent on human assistance. Instead of feeding them directly, consider planting native plants that provide natural food sources like fruits, seeds, and insects. Examples include Wax Myrtle, Yaupon Holly, and American Beautyberry. For nectar-feeding birds, try Coral Honeysuckle or Red Buckeye. Creating a no-mow zone, brush piles, and other habitats can also provide shelter and food. While occasional feeding is fine, avoid processed foods, and opt for natural options like nuts for squirrels and fruits for turtles.

SUMMARY: Mississippi offers a variety of events to celebrate Christmas, from parades in cities and towns to creative activities like decorating and making handmade gifts. Christmas karaoke is another fun way to boost holiday cheer, while watching classic Christmas movies like *How the Grinch Stole Christmas* and *It’s a Wonderful Life* sets the festive mood. For those struggling during the holidays, sharing holiday cheer with a gift or an invitation can mean a lot. Amid the holiday hustle, it’s important to slow down and enjoy the season, reflecting on what makes Christmas special. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
