Duck Dynasty stars returned to TV for a Christmas special and proved themselves to be a triple threat when they showed off their acting skills at their church’s nativity play.

“Considering the talent involved, it’s borderline miraculous [we pulled off the play],” Jase Robertson said.

Even the Robertson’s youngest brother Jep, who has terrible stage fright, managed to remember his one line.

However, Uncle Si Robertson, who played one of the wise men, insisted on calling frankincense “franken scents.”

“Everybody knows that <<franken>> is a prefix,” Si Robertson explained.

“Like <<franken stein>> and <<frank and beans>>.”

While the nativity play, which featured the entire family, went on fairly smoothly, the episode focused on what the Robertson family does best: hunting.

“Well every Christmas, it seems like my house is invaded by yuppies,” said Phil Robertson as he prepared to go hunting for the family’s Christmas dinner.

“All they do all day long is decorate and talk.”

Before Phil Robertson could head out to hunt, Miss Kay and Jessica insisted he take them hog hunting.

“In the spirit of Christmas and in the spirit of the American West, we say y’all get your camo on,” he told them before quickly regretting his decision to let the women join him.

“If the yapping keeps up there won’t be a hog coming within a mile of us,” Phil Robertson complained. Failing to get Jessica and Miss Kay to stay quiet, Phil devised a plan to trick them into acting foolish.

He told them to scream for the pigs to come while walking in a circle and bending close to the ground. After several minutes of this Phil couldn’t hold back his laughter and the jig was up.

But there was no harm done as Phil soon after shot a pig for their Christmas dinner. He enlisted the help of Jessica who was not too happy to help her father-in-law drag the pig back to the truck.

“I’m a better pioneer woman [than Jessica],” Miss Kay said.

“I’ve been helping cleaning and carrying hogs since I could carry and clean hogs.”

Meanwhile, Willie Robertson was searching for the perfect present to get his wife Korie after she admitted he was not the best gift giver. In previous years she received a Snuggie and a bedazzled clutch.

Determined to make this year different, Willie Robertson took the advice of younger brother Jep and had a family portrait framed.

Satisfied his gift would make an impression on his wife, Willie Robertson was disappointed when brother Jase turned up with the same gift for his wife Missy.

Despite the minor setback, both wives loved their gifts and Willie was happy to save the “camo pajamas” he bought Korie for her birthday.

Alan Robertson also made an appearance on last night’s episode sporting some new scruff. The former minister led the family and the church in a prayer after the nativity play.

Duck Dynasty is among the TV shows influencing the hottest trends in baby names in 2013.

Silas “Si” Robertson finds himself with unlikely namesakes this year.

According to BabyCenter, Silas jumped to No. 112 among boys’ names on its annual list of popular baby names. Phil, the name of the patriarch of the Duck Dynasty family, the Robertsons of West Monroe, Louisiana, rose 32%, or 860 spots, on the list.

Korie, the name of Willie Robertson’s wife, jumped an amazing 89%, or 13,262 spots, on the list.

No one’s rushing to name their sons, or daughters, after Breaking Bad‘s Walter White – the name Walter fell 12%, or 55 spots – and most other character names on the show also dropped on the list. Two character names, however, saw significant jumps: the name Mike is up 20% and Marie is up 21%.

Kate Middleton’s son, Prince George, also had a big impact for such a little guy. BabyCenter found that the name George climbed 10% for boys – and 37% for girls.

And don’t forget the ever-popular Kanye West-Kim Kardashian family.

While the name of their daughter North did not show a great increase, the name Kanye jumped 38%, or 2,228 spots. Little North West’s nickname, Nori, also saw an increase of five spots on the list.

The HBO series Girls had an impact on two fronts: the name of character Marnie jumped 62%, or 3,286 spots, and the name of series creator and star Lena Dunham rose 26%.

Elsewhere, the names Jackson, Aiden and Liam topped BabyCenter’s list of the top 100 baby names for boys. Sophia, Emma and Olivia topped the list of the most popular girls names.

“It’s got us all over it.”

Duck Dynasty’s Si and Jase Robertson have teamed up with insurer State Farm to reinforce the importance of turkey fryer and cooking safety this holiday season with a brand-new video titled Hang on a Minute with Jase and Si Robertson.

The video captures the importance of turkey frying safety in a humorous yet educational way by cautioning viewers to “hang on a minute and think before you fry”. Regardless if the person frying the bird is experienced or a novice, everyone should take appropriate safety precautions prior to frying.

Jase Robertson and Uncle Si have been frying turkey for years without incident because they recognize the dangers and take the proper safety measures to reduce their risk of a fire.

Cooking fires are the number one cause of home fires and home injuries. Based on data from State Farm, more cooking fires occur on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year. The good news is that State Farm cooking fire claims on Thanksgiving Day have been reduced from 66 claims in 2010 to 29 claims in 2012, the lowest number of claims in a decade.

While the reduction is significant, the fact remains there are still injuries and damage to property as a result of turkey frying or cooking fires each year.

November is the number one month for grease and cooking related fire and December is the second highest month.

Operation Christmas Child wrote on their Samaritan’s Purse website: “Since 1990, more than 100 million boys and girls in over 130 countries have experienced God’s love through the power of simple shoe box gifts from Operation Christmas Child. Samaritan’s Purse works with local churches and ministry partners to deliver the gifts and share the life-changing Good News of Jesus Christ.

“We always give shoeboxes to children based on need, regardless of their background or religious beliefs. It’s an unconditional gift of love.

“Where appropriate, with each shoebox, our church partners will offer a little booklet of Bible stories. They may also invite children receiving shoeboxes to join a discipleship course called The Greatest Journey. This is a <<no strings attached>> programme and participation is with the consent of their parent or guardian.”

More than 800 people showed up early Wednesday morning at the Post Exchange (PX) on Fort Hood, Texas, to have books signed by Duck Dynasty’s Si Robertson.

Uncle Si Robertson, who’s a Vietnam veteran, has a son, Scott Robertson, who was assigned to Fort Hood at one time, and deployed to Iraq.

Si Robertson’s new book is titled Si-cology 1: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle.

Officials at the PX said they planned for 600 to 800 fans, but more than that were in the line that wound around the building.

Many fans said they like the show because of the family values and the fact that there’s no profanity so even kids can watch it.

The event even attracted some Si Robertson lookalikes, who said they’ve watched the show since it premiered in 2012.

Si Robertson will be visiting other military bases for similar book signings during the next few months.

“We love to sing and love the season,” said the Duck Commander CEO.

“It was a lot of fun, and fans of the show will see similarities to the show with a prayer and my thoughts to close it out.

“And of course, Si has some classic funny songs. It’s a real family album that hopefully is successful.”

Si Robertson dressed up as a beaver for the Halloween celebration on Duck Dynasty’s season finale.

“Look, it ain’t about the costume,” Uncle Si insisted.

“It’s about the attitude.”

“You’re telling me that if you saw a beaver the size of a man, that that would not scare you?” Si Robertson said looking straight into the camera.

“Buck teeth the size of your head? One chomp, he’d bite your right arm off.”

But when his nephew Willie Robertson, who dressed as Freddy Krueger, failed to see the sinister side of Uncle Si’s creature feature, what with it lacking any blood, Si warned him to be patient.

“That’ll come later when I eat a kid,” he smiled.

When Duck Commander’s haunted house kicked off, Willie Robertson could be seen jumping from the swamp with a warning: “I’m a man-eating mutant beaver, and I love little children the best!”

Duck Dynasty stars celebrated this year’s Halloween at their Duck Commander scarehouse with the show’s Season Finale.

“We’re going to turn the warehouse into the SCAREhouse,” declared Korie Robertson.

Most of the crew was excited about hosting the trick or treat festival, but Jase Robertson had his reservations.

“Let me guess, by <<we>>, you mean <<us>>,” said Jase.

“Exactly,” smiled Korie Robertson.

“I want this thing to be killer,” said Willie Robertson, holding a bloodied plastic arm.

“No pun intended.”

Jase Robertson was not particularly enthused about the idea of wearing a costume–or about Halloween in general.

“I’ve never really understood why people get so excited about dressing up during Halloween,” groused Jase Robertson.

“Let’s just call Halloween what it is–a weird fashion show for candy.”

As the Duck Dynasty crew got to work building a maze for the haunted house, they started debating what movie was the scariest of all time.

Jase Robertson declared his favorite to be the classic 1978 slasher flick, “Halloween.”

“There’s something about a man with a mask and a butcher knife,” he explained.

“Yeah, I watched that one with my eyes closed,” noted John Godwin.

“I like Freddy Cougar,” added Uncle Si, misnaming Freddy Krueger.

“Now, he’s scary. I’m talking about–hey–Freddy Cougar, the scariest movie of all. Hey, look–the guy comes you at you when you’re asleep. That scares me, because I sleep a lot.”

Jep Robertson had a different definition of terror.

“That movie <<Ghost>>, that was scary horror movie,” declared Jep Robertson.

“You mean that movie that Whoppi Goldberg was in?” asked Jase Robertson incredulously.

“That’s not a horror movie.”

“That was a chick flick,” added John Godwin.

“Yeah, but it was still scary,” said Jase Robertson, defensively.

Meanwhile, back at the Robertson compound, Miss Kay was busy in the kitchen, decorating cupcakes and telling ghost stories to the grandchildren.

Phil Robertson tried to sample some of Miss Kay’s baked goods, but was swatted away.

“No, no sir,” chided Miss Kay Robertson.

“This is for people who participate in Halloween. No dress-up, no cup cakes.”

It seemed that Phil and Jase Robertson share similar feelings about the spooky holiday.

“Well, I’m not much into All Hallows’ Eve, or Halloween as they call it,” explained Phil Robertson.

“Pagan holidays, not my particular cup of tea. But throw a bunch of cup cakes into the mix, and hey–I can suffer through it for a day or two. But trust me–I’m not into it.”

Phil Robertson did, however, seem to be into carving pumpkins.

Leading the kids to an outdoor picnic table, Phil Robertson instructed his grandchildren to treat the pulpy orange squash as if it was a freshly killed mallard duck.

“Gutting a duck is a particular skill that every man, woman and child should know,” he said.

“Of course, it’s not duck season yet, but we do have plenty of pumpkins.”

Phil Robertson attacks a pumpkin with particular skill and flair.

“Anything that involves a lot of knife work, that’s a good thing,” he explained, as he mimicked a series of quick slashing motions.

“River rat Benihana’s.”

After successfully carving a jack-o-lantern, his grandkids were not impressed.

“More scary,” one pleaded.

“A beard,” suggested another.

“You want a beard on him, I’ll give you a beard on him,” Phil Robertson told the children, squarely aiming his shotgun at the defenseless squash.

After the gourd splattered everywhere, Phil Robertson was satisfied.

“Now, that is how you carve a pumpkin.”

Back at the SCAREhouse, the kids had a frightful time, being spooked by a condemned John Godwin in an electric chair, zombie teenagers and Uncle Si dressed as a giant, crazed beaver.

After failing to scare anyone in his Freddy Cougar–um, Krueger–outfit, Willie Robertson reflected on the importance of unity.

“Halloween is awesome for many reasons. Of course, there’s the candy, dressing up in non-matching outfits and you can’t forget scaring the crap out of little kids. But the best part of Halloween is that everyone gets to come together–not just as family, but as a community. Young and old, friends and neighbors, all together in the name of good fun–and candy.”

Duck Dynasty Season 4 is over and A&E will air a very special one-hour holiday program on December 5 entitled, I’m Dreaming of a Redneck Christmas..

A carefully crafted scarecrow modeled to look like Duck Dynasty’s Si Robertson was stolen and burnt by a Georgia teenager.

The teenager was arrested for the theft of the scarecrow, which was constructed by a group of parents of fourth graders at Ball Ground Elementary School.

The Robertson-themed scarecrow was a popular entry in the area’s first scarecrow contest.

City Manager Eric Wilmarth told the Cherokee Tribune that the teen who stole the scarecrow was from Canton, Georgia.

“He was just passing through downtown Ball Ground and thought Uncle Si was pretty cool and wanted him. [He] just didn’t think about the consequences, and I am sure didn’t think there would be so much publicity,” Eric Wilmarth said.

“The young man has expressed remorse – he is sorry for what he did – it’s just one of those things you can’t back up and undo.”

The city initially offered a $1,000 reward for information about the scarecrow’s whereabouts.

Ball Ground Police Chief Bryon Reeves explained that the teen got nervous after stealing the scarecrow and decided to burn it to get rid of it.

Doug Knott, the principal of Ball Ground Elementary School, said the scarecrow will be missed.

“Long before Uncle Si’s disappearance and unfortunate demise, the Ball Ground community and all those who travel through the city had grown fond of this very life-like creation of this very popular figure from <<Duck Dynasty>> fame. Needless to say, Uncle Si the scarecrow was a popular figure long before the unfortunate events,” Doug Knott said.

Allison Martin, who created the Si Robertson scarecrow with three other moms, said it took more than 40 hours to craft the scarecrow.

“To begin with, we were kind of upset; the main reason we had done ‘Duck Dynasty’ was because of the background and their beliefs and we truly believe in them, and as a community we have to forgive,” Allison Martin told the Cherokee Tribune.

Allison Martin added that the parents were intending to remake the Duck Dynasty themed creation.

Duck Dynasty‘s stars revealed they are no fans of gun control, but there’s another kind of control they think the nation could use.

“It ain’t gun control we need; it’s sin control,” Si Robertson told Men’s Journal magazine in a group interview.

His brother, Phil Robertson, has another kind of control in mind.

“Self-control,” he added.

The bearded bayou clan’s show has been a hit, and they’re not afraid to speak out about their feelings on religion and politics, though the show plays those down.

“We’re trying to infuse a little good into a culture in which gentleness, patience, kindness, self-control, love, joy and peace have become abnormal,” Phil Robertson told the magazine.

“I go out into America and I am literally navigating a minefield. Godliness has become abnormal.”

Duck Dynasty show has brought Robertson family big bucks – the magazine reports they’re rumored to earn $200,000 each per episode – but they claim it hasn’t changed them.

“This place is probably worth $100,000,” Phil Robertson told the magazine about his Louisiana home.

“But I consider it a mansion.”

Duck Dynasty stars admit they’re not perfect. Si Robertson was drafted during the Vietnam War and remembers those days as especially rebellious.

“I kept a fifth of whiskey in my pocket everywhere I went,” he told Men’s Journal.

“I tried dope one time, OK, like marijuana, but why would you smoke something that makes you feel 100 years old? So, drugs wasn’t it for me. In my mind, it was alcohol and whoring around.”

Miss Kay Robertson was just 16 and pregnant when they wed in 1966, but even the fans who want him to sign their panties can’t sway him from her side.

“They walk up with a pair of little bitty, bitty bikini underwear and say, <<Will you sign these?>>” Phil Robertson said.

“Well, my first question is, <<Are they clean?>>. But, see, as I move forward on my travels, I make sure I take two things with me, my Bible and my woman, Miss Kay. You see what I’m saying? I’ve put my heathen days behind me. I’m not going down that path again.”

Duck Dynasty’s Si Robertson discovered YouTube for the first time, and, after watching a series of instructional videos, decided he can make something better.

Uncle Si notes: “They got everything in this thing. Fainting goats. Sneezing pandas. Double rainbows, all the way to both ends… Where’s this thing been all my life?”

Jase, Jep, John Godwin, and Justin Martin helped Uncle Si shoot an instructional golf video, and upload Si’s “four point philosophy” to the web.

He’s so hooked on the videos that he skips lunch with the gang from the Duck Commander warehouse and then is shocked when he learns he’s been watching the laptop screen for an hour when they return.

Si Robertson decides he will make some instructional videos on subjects like “training dogs, how to walk, how to talk, how to eat a hard-shell taco,” but eventually settles on a golfing video because he was once a greens keeper at a golf course.

Dressing the part, Si Robertson later shows up in stereotypical golfing garb, including loud plaid pants, bright sweater-vest and a flat-cap.

Uncle Si explains: “You can’t go out there dressed like a baffoon.”

With Jep Robertson manning the camera, Uncle Si begins his video: “I am an amateur golfer, but a professional golf instructor.”

The final product includes Si Robertson’s four steps to better golf: Stance, swing, long putts and “don’t overdo it.”

According to new reports, Duck Dynasty fans are heading to West Monroe, Louisiana, as the Robertson family’s home place has become the vacation spot of the year.

Duck Dynasty, which follows Willie Robertson, his redneck family and their multimillion-dollar duck call business Duck Commander, is one of television’s most-watched reality series. More than 11.8 million viewers tuned in for the season four premiere in August, and fans are now taking their love for the show and hitting the road to visit the Robertsons’ town of West Monroe.

“We laugh and smile and shake our heads because the show has really put us on the map,” said Courtney Hornsby, president of the West Monroe-West Ouachita Chamber of Commerce. “We’re just trying to embrace it and see how we can use it to help grow the community.”

Although Courtney Hornsby did not have official tourism numbers, she says the town of 13,000 is inundated on weekends. And local businesses are aiming to take advantage of the Duck Dynasty crowds.

The local Hampton Inn has a Duck Commander package which gives participants a gift bag with their very own Phil Robertson mug when booking a room. The Downtown Monroe Alliance is planning a holiday event around the show, to be called A Very Merry Commander Christmas, and the Monroe-West Monroe Convention and Visitors Bureau created the Duck Commander Hometown Tour to help tourists find locations from Duck Dynasty.

“It’s really exciting to see our area revitalized with increased tourism from the show,” said Rebekah Landry, art and social media director for Landry Vineyards. Her family’s vineyard was shown on an episode of Duck Dynasty in 2012. Rebekah Landry estimates that half of the vineyard’s visitors come by because of the show.

“People are always asking <<Where’s Willie?>>, <<Where can I meet him?>>, <<Where does he live?>>” said Rebekah Landry.

“It can be an irritant but people are coming in the door and buying our wines, so you can’t complain.”

Lori and Dalton Young and their four children spent their spring break visiting West Monroe from McKinney, Texas. Their first stop was the Duck Commander warehouse where they bumped into Si Robertson.

“Our youngest daughter has Down syndrome, and it was really sweet to see Si talking to her,” said Lori Young.

“She kept calling him daddy so he was laughing and joking with her.”

For Duck Dynasty’s Si Robertson the one item he can’t live without is his blue Tupperware cup.

Uncle Si Robertson explains the full story behind his unusual accessory for the first time in his new book, Si-cology: Tales and Wisdom from Duck Dynasty’s Favorite Uncle.

He first acquired the blue Tupperware container when his mother sent it to him in a care package during his time serving in the military in Vietnam.

“Somehow, Momma’s iced tea cup stayed with me all the way through Vietnam, and I’ve carried it in my back pocket ever since,” Si Robertson writes.

“I guess if it can make it through the napalm, mustard gas, and rice wine of Vietnam, I’ll probably take it to my grave.”

Si Robertson says he never lets the cup out of his sight, and he wouldn’t part with it for the world.

“One time, a guy handed me a blank check and wanted to buy my iced tea cup,” Uncle Si claims.

“<<Fill in the amount>>, he said. <<Whatever it takes. I want that Tupperware cup>>.”

Si Robertson continues: “<<It’s not for sale>>, I told him. I told the guy to go buy his own Tupperware cup …”

The Tupperware brand has been thrilled with all of the prominent product placement the blue cup gets on Duck Dynasty show, and sent Si Robertson “a stainless steel saucepan with a lid, a big boiling pot, and a really nice set of steak knives,” plus a dozen blue cups, he claims.

“Apparently Tupperware cups are making a comeback,” Si Robertson writes.
