Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays
It’s that most wonderful time of the year, time for cheer and time for joy…. I feel like my horrible singing voice is coming through the pages and before the dogs start to howl, I’ll get right to it. 2020 has seen quite a bit of tragedy. From the world being on fire, Covid-19, elections, and even UFOs, we have endured it all. Endured, survived, and now we can celebrate together the Holidays. For my family that means we trim the tree, throw some lights on the house, spread the tinsel (garland as my wife likes to call it), and wake up to the antics of our Scout Elf Ginger. These are the traditions that we love.
Today I’m sending this Special Edition out a bit early because there are a few things I wanted to share with you. I’ll let you read the other posts for this week, but here, I need to share some things. We know that there are families in our Village that have had an extra hard year. Chad Hager passed recently from cancer at the young age of 40. He passed only three months after the diagnosis and left behind three young children. Amirah Hager and family, our hearts are with you still though no words can be express how we feel.
Now that I have dried my tears, I think it is important to show some appreciation for those that came together to help our neighbors out in their time of need. At the top is our very own Mailman Frank Crotts. Not only for the support and help to the Hager’s, but also because of the without fail dedication to service to us with the mail. I’m sorry Frank that Charles barks at you every day. Thank you for being showing patience, and for ensuring all those letters to Santa made it in time. Some of the others who showed what it means to love your neighbor, Glenn Woodell, Ryan Greene, Stephen & Stephanie GianDonato, and the many meal train participants. Thank you for simply being amazing people.
Finally, I want to brag a little bit, if you have been out looking at the lights in the Village Green, you will have noticed quite a few amazing displays. There were so many beautiful displays it’s hard to say which one was my favorite. One street though really lit up the night. So, if you only come look at one street make it Prescott Cir. We showed up in style and I’m always taking the long way around the circle at night. Let’s light up the night, sing some carols, make the cookies for Santa, and spread some joy. We have a big night ahead of us, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays.
