Good morning, Corpus Christi.

Corpus Christi Fire Department held a Christmas tree-lighting safety demonstration today to show how quickly trees can catch fire if not watered and maintained properly (Assistant Chief Billy Belyeu stressed daily water checks and proper inspection of lights and heat sources to avoid disaster).

For nearly five decades, the Moody High School baseball team has volunteered to pack food boxes for Catholic Charities’ Community Christmas effort in Corpus Christi—continuing a tradition of civic service.

Senior Luke Copley, a first-time volunteer, said the event offers meaningful support to families in need.

Abraham Quintanilla, father of Selena, died and fans in Corpus Christi remember his role in shaping her career and preserving her legacy.

The Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra marked its 80th year with a holiday concert held in the Coastal Bend.
