Good morning, Tyler.

The Rose City Christmas Parade will proceed as planned with the theme *Unite For Good* and is set to celebrate local holiday spirit with community members gathering along the usual route.

Churches across East Texas will stage live Nativity events this December that reenact the birth of Christ, featuring drive-thru tours and walking displays; in Tyler, Mt. Sylvan Baptist Church’s 'Journey to Bethlehem' runs from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Dec.

18-20 (other towns host similar events).

East Texas homeowners have created a dazzling Christmas light show to brighten the holiday season for local viewers; the display invites community members to enjoy creative holiday cheer.

Floats, marching bands, and community groups fill Tyler’s streets with holiday cheer at the Rose City Christmas Parade today, and a dazzling drone show will light up the sky later tonight.

At a Nov. 20 stop at the Tyler Area Chamber of Commerce, Children at Risk presented new data showing 39 local childcare deserts as families pay up to 50% of income on care.

The findings will guide upcoming policy changes for improving early education facilities.
