"It's easy to get caught up in the wrapping, unwrapping and shopping of gifts and materialistic things at Christmastime, but Oakton Church in Lamar, Missouri, has reminded people each year for 68 years about what is most important during this special season with its Annual Outdoor Living Nativity Pageant."

The Living Nativity Pageant will take place at Oakton Church between December 19-21 at 6:30 p.m. and will last approximately 25 minutes and continue every half hour until the final show starts at 9 p.m.

"All of us who are involved in this ministry truly believe in the message that is presented. Lots of people who don't go to church will come to see this. We hope it speaks to them. We consider it an honor to give this gift to our community," said Patty Hininger, Oakton Church Pageant secretary.

Carriage rides, gingerbread decorating contests, a live nativity, s'mores around fire pits, holiday art classes, Christmas karaoke and a Candy Lane adventure are some of the activities that make Fort Scott Christmas on the Bricks feel like something straight out of a Hallmark movie when the first weekend of December arrives. ❄🎄

"The downtown historic area is adorned with brick roads - hence the name - and decorated with swags that hang across Main Street with garland and a large wreath in the center of each. The mayor's Christmas tree shines brightly at the north end of Main Street, and trees are lit with beautiful colored lights on Skubitz Plaza adjacent to the Fort Scott National Historic Site," said Diane Striler, chair of Christmas on the Bricks. "It feels like you are walking into a small Hallmark movie."

Most 11-year-old boys enjoy playing sports or video games, but Tristan Hallett of Joplin, Missouri, spent most of the last year and a half playing Lucas, a character in "Gingerbread Men," a holiday comedy that will make its way to theaters and streaming services in 2026. 🍪✨

"I can't wait for people to see how good of a kid actor Tristan is. I'm not joking, he's comparable to 'Home Alone's' Macaulay Culkin. Tristan is smart, funny, witty and fun. I think America is going to fall in love with this kid. I'm sort of shocked we have him in our movie. He's that good," said Jason Hudson, director of "Gingerbread Men."
