Thank you to our sponsors, Lakewood Blueclaws and Jersey Shore Hobby Center. Okay so
what is
with this warm weather?! It is December 3rd, right?! It is strange to drive around and see
holiday
lights and decorations up when it is warm enough to feel like springtime. Yet, I try to
remind
myself that the holiday is about the spirit and not the material things like decorations
and gifts.
It is about being with loved ones and realizing what we have is so precious... So in the
next few
weeks as we hustle and bustle to bake, wrap and shop don't forget to spend some time with
loved ones
to really appreciate what is really important.
Until December 17th, peace...
Karen
