It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

And while acknowledging our pride in the Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl, we’re not talking about college football’s bowl season.

It’s Christmas season. It culminates this weekend with the observance of the birth of the Christ child more than 2,000 years ago.

For the first time since August, the Shreveport-Bossier Journal will not publish an edition this weekend. We’ll also not publish a Monday edition on Christmas Day.

Your SBJ will be back in your e-mail box at 6:55 Tuesday morning and on our ShreveportBossierJournal.com website, and our content will be available on our Facebook page, as always.

As we head toward an exciting new year, we will be publishing on weekdays, not weekends, as we turn the calendar to 2024.

We thank you for your readership and look forward to providing you with free and informative locally-based content that doesn’t annoy you with pop-ups or overload you with stories that have no bearing on Shreveport-Bossier.

Have a very, very Merry Christmas!
