Four former American Idol stars will perform Christmas songs and recent Idol hits on Dec. 4 to launch the Christmas season with music. But you don't have to turn on FOX 6 or travel to a larger city to enjoy them. Instead, simply go to Oxford's First Baptist Church at 7:30 p.m. that Friday and you'll see Idol finalists entertaining with solos, duets and ensemble pieces. The Idol stars, representing seasons six through eight of the show, are presented by the Oxford Arts Council.

Etiquette guru Emily Post wrote in 1922, "Courtesy demands that you, when you are a guest, shall show neither annoyance or disappointment — no matter what happens. If you neither understand nor care for dogs or children, and both insist on climbing all over you, you must seemingly like it; just as you must be amiable and polite to your fellow guests, even though they be of all the people on earth the most detestable to you."
