Husband Sparks 15-Year Christmas Tree Mystery

For the past 15 winters, a mysterious decorated pine tree along Montana's Interstate 90 has captivated passing motorists, with local residents speculating about its origins.

The tradition began in 2009 when long-haul trucker German Segura playfully promised his worried wife he would "dress" a lonely tree he spotted during an icy drive.

Segura returned each year to decorate the tree, and the private act has grown into a community tradition, with residents now joining him to mark the start of the holiday season.

Dad Finds Unreleased Michael Jackson Tracks 

Former California Highway Patrol officer turned stay-at-home dad made an extraordinary discovery through his "treasure hunting" hobby: a collection of unreleased Michael Jackson recordings.

Gregg Musgrove, 56, described getting "goosebumps" while listening to the recordings, which due to copyright and ownership issues can’t be released publicly.

He found the recordings in an abandoned San Fernando Valley storage unit that once belonged to producer Bryan Loren. They date back to 1989 and include 12 songs and candid studio conversations.

Among the highlights is a collaboration with LL Cool J, as well as moments of Jackson joking and discussing his creative process.

Ice Cream Parlor Becomes Syria's Symbol of Freedom

Since the fall of Assad’s regime, Syrians have been flooding into Damascus to celebrate newfound freedom—and many are heading straight to the historic Bakdash ice cream parlor.

Known for its mastic-infused gelato, the shop’s iconic $1 pistachio-topped dessert has become a symbol of resilience and reawakening.

For over a century, the family-run parlor has endured wars and upheaval. Customers say its signature orchid-root ice cream—pounded to a chewy perfection with meter-long mallets—tastes sweeter than ever amid Syria’s new chapter. Watch a video here.
