It’s our role as journalists to discover news, but we can’t claim that we knew before everybody else that President Trump would declare today and Friday as federal holidays, bookending Christmas Day.
He signed that executive order Dec. 18, which is about the time Journal management decided to give our team an extended Christmas break.
The Natchitoches Parish Journal will not publish on Christmas Day or on Friday, giving our crew time to enjoy three weekdays with family and friends.
We will be back Monday morning with all our normal content on our website, our Facebook page, and in our regular 6:55 email to all our subscribers – absolutely free, as always.
If any really big, widely impactful, breaking local news develops until then, we’ll let you know.
We don’t have pop-ups or log-ins. You have quick, easy, free access to all content for every Journal published locally and across north and central Louisiana.
We wish you and yours a wonderful, joyous Christmas celebration – with Santa Claus bringing excitement for children, while we reflect on the ultimate miracle of the birth of Jesus Christ and His life on Earth.
Merry Christmas from the Journal team!
