Well, all sorts of decorations, wreaths, outdoor lights and Christmas trees are being put up and decorated each day around town. The spirit of the holiday season is upon us. It is also getting closer to the winter solstice, and the shortest day of the year next Friday. I am sure many of you have your shopping mostly done and are well prepared for Christmas with everything wrapped — like Jane Konicki, Barbara Day and Judy Hall. The rest of us are just beginning that frantic mad scramble to get it all together for the holiday.
