CHRISTMAS SEASON

December marks the beginning of the colorful green and red colors that are almost everywhere. The green color of the Christmas tree is adorned with twinkling or clear lights and a variety of ornaments that fill almost the spaces on the branches. The red poinsettias, red and white candy canes, and the bright red color of Santa's suit add to the palette. Combined with either twinkling or clear lights that adorn both homes and businesses as well as the Christmas trees the beauty of the season takes on a different glow.

The one thing that makes the season special is the melodies of songs, the ringing of bells, and the snap and crackle of a fire burning in a fireplace. Children laughing, carolers singing, and church choirs with voices blending are more sounds that everyone appreciates. Enjoy the season but take time to listen, really listen to the world around you. After all, it comes only once a year.

I'd be happy to be included in the community. Is there anything special I need to do or will you handle with your magic keystrokes?
