Five Activities to do this Christmas Season
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!

SUMMARY: Naturalist Sharon Milligan witnessed a dramatic encounter at a pond where a Banded Water Snake captured a Two-toed Amphiuma by its tail. Knowing the snake’s determination, the outcome was clear: the amphiuma would soon be swallowed whole despite its ability to deliver a painful bite. Water snakes are equipped with flexible jaws to consume large prey. This encounter highlighted the amphiuma’s rarity, as they are nocturnal and primarily inhabit burrows. Both species sit at the top of their local aquatic food chains, with water snakes able to tackle larger prey than the amphibians. Sharon’s documentation enriches understanding of these creatures.
