 One of the more unusual Christmas traditions has made its way to Nichols Elementary this year.

The school hosted an ugly Christmas sweater day as part of a week-long celebration of the holiday season.

Many students and staff brought out their best - or their worst - in seasonal garments.

Some wore Christmas ties, while others created their own homemade sweaters and shirts.

Some sweaters were actually nice, but some were as ugly as could be. Either way, spirits were high and fun was had by all.

  Overdale Elementary was the first school to contribute toys to the Hillview Operation Santa program over 25 years ago. It remains the biggest school contributor.

Over 400 families receive food baskets and toys thanks to the generosity of the community.

This year, Overdale students had an opportunity to throw pies at area police officers and even Whitney Voyles, whose class donated the most toys. This earned her a pie.

 The Annual Lloyd House Christmas celebration joined forces with the First Baptist Church of Mount Washington Performing Arts Center Piano Recital.

Sixteen students, taught by Vivian Adams, proved what they had learned, some in as short as 14 weeks of classes.

The house was also open for visitors to take a tour of the historic home, which was decked out with traditional lights and holiday décor.

  SHEPHERDSVILLE - Yuletide carols being sung by an alumni choir led to folks dressed up like eskimos filling the pews of the First Baptist Church in Shepherdsville.

The church was the setting for a combination Christmas choir concert performed by the Bullitt Central High School Choir along with the Bullitt Central Alumni Choir.

The event featured the school’s current choir and Freshman choir, consisting of about 100 students. It also featured Bullitt Central choir alumni, also numbering at about 100 singers.
