It is a bit difficult for me to already embrace the Christmas season. I prefer to slowly slide into the celebrations around mid-December. But this weekend is light-up in Yarrow, and we, of course, love to support our community. We keep our giant lighted wreath hoisted to the ceiling of our steel storage room in the shop. We gently let it down, dusted it off and began the annual refurbishment, replacing a few strings of lights as needed and making sure the rest were tied on nice and neat. Then we carried it out to the front yard and carefully hoisted it into its place in the giant round window of our house. Tonight, we lit the wreath for the throngs of townsfolk who were enjoying the light in the park down the street. Merry Christmas!
