    Angels Among Us

    Dallas Arboretum reveals angelic surprise for decorative holiday display

    Every year, the Dallas Arboretum likes to decorate its iconic DeGolyer Mansion with different holiday-themed items to celebrate the season. For this year's Holiday at the Arboretum, happening November 29 through December 31, more than 500 angels will festoon the grounds as a centerpiece for the arboretum's annual celebration.

    The angels come in multiple different forms, including straw, wood, crystal, brass and handmade, showing off the range of figures the Dallas Pi Beta Phi Alumnae Club has accumulated through the years. Some are ornate, some are whimsical, but all, combined with other traditional decorations, put visitors in the mood of the season.

    Although it may seem like the arboretum is repeating itself with the angels display, in reality this is the first time they've decked out the DeGolyer in such a fashion. Past years have seen displays of multiple versions of Santa Claus, crèches aka nativity scenes, nutcrackers and dolls. The donation of the angels display was two years in the making.

    While the angels are new, Holiday at the Arboretum will also see the return of favorite activities like pictures with Santa Claus, live reindeer, costumed characters and holiday tea. Visitors can enjoy the holiday tea any day of the week, while the reindeer, characters and Santa Claus will only be at the arboretum on Saturdays and Sundays.

    Of course, the highly praised Rory Meyers Children's Adventure Garden will also be open, making a trip to the arboretum worth it on a number of levels this holiday season.

    Holiday at the Arboretum is always a festive time.

    Irish social media star takes on outrageous food at State Fair of Texas

    Garron Noone and a State Fair of Texas post.

    Many a word has been written about the over-the-top food served at the annual State Fair of Texas, and the latest comes from Garron Noone, the Irish musician, comedian, and social media star who's become an international sensation for his witty posts and reviews on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.

    Noone surged to fame in late 2022 for his incredibly funny, often profanity-laden posts on life in Ireland, dryly promoting the Irish as the most attractive and appealing nationality while sarcastically denigrating the rest — and always capping his posts with his catchphrase, "Follow me, I'm delicious."

    His combination of satiric outrage, self-deprecating modesty, and sharp wit have garnered him nearly 2.4 million followers on Instagram and in 2024, he won a Gossie Award for "newcomer of the year."

    Food is a frequent topic (he has strong opinions on the right way to make a cup of tea), and he likes covering on extreme foods — so it's no surprise he would take on the State Fair of Texas, with a September 27 post called "Shocking Texas State Fair Footage" where he provides commentary, in his trademark Irish brogue, on a compilation of State Fair visitors eating new foods being served at the State Fair of Texas in 2025.

    "This Texas State Fair is fucking crazy," is his opening line, as he introduces a clip showing the making of Rousso’s Cotton Candy Bacon on a Stick, featuring a 12-inch piece of bacon with a cotton candy glaze on top, which won a Big Tex Choice Award in 2024.

    "Look at this," Noone says, aghast. "This is bacon cotton candy. He is melting the cotton candy right onto the bacon so it's just concentrated death. I'm outraged, I'm disgusted, you may notice the tears," he says pointing to the corner of his eyes — "but I simply must go to Texas and seek this blessing."

    Next up is a fair visitor, chowing on a turkey leg.

    "This is a turkey leg? I have never seen a fucking turkey like that," he says. "This is definitely the leg of a mythical creature. Whatever it was when it was alive, we don't have it in Ireland and we don't fucking want it."

    The next post is a visitor whose order includes the What on Earth is This? A UFO-shaped smash burger atop ranch onion rings with a syringe you use to inject a mysterious sauce.

    "What on earth is this?" is superimposed over the guy squeezing the syringe, provoking Noone to say, "Oh, it looks like it needs to undergo a medical procedure before being consumed."

    Noone reveals a love-hate relationship with corndogs, stating that he's never had one.

    "Corndogs have always looked disgusting to me— like they'd be warm in a very unsettling way," he says, before lamenting that he's ending his video without getting a chance to review the deep fried butter.

    "I might have to do a part two," he says.
