Rabbit rabbit. Happy December!

Today we celebrate Rosa Parks, a civil rights leader from Montgomery, AL, who refused to give up her seat on a bus on Dec. 1, 1955 after a long day's work.

1. Hang on to your hat—the National Weather Service at Mt. Holly, NJ, predicts a sunny, breezy day with a high of 41 degrees. Gusts could be as high as 30 miles an hour, they say. Tonight should be clear with a low of 21 degrees and the wind will calm down.

2. Bethlehem's live advent calendar will return with costumed characters straight out of a Charles Dickens novel.

3. What is a Greenland block and how might it affect us this winter?

4. Check out our "Holiday Happenings" page and send us photos of your holiday lights so we can add them!

5. Coming up: Reporter Julian Abraham has a follow-up on the oil spill that happened in Bethlehem on Nov. 17.
