Ok, so I have been terribly cranky this year. But, there is nothing I love more than Christmas in our small town. For a little over a month everyone unites in one cause. To be sure everyone has a wonderful Christmas. The churches work together. Lights are strung. Every store front has a Christmas tree. People supply food for the food bank. Angels are put on trees so people can buy Christmas for those less fortunate. (All the angels were taken care of this year.) This year there is even a community dinner.
I forget sometimes that life is good here. How cynical people can be elsewhere. This is the place were neighbors still bring gifts for Christmas. And when I am at our store, the last thing they say to me before leaving our door, "Have a Merry Christmas! "
