Merry CHRISTmas, one and all

By Pauline Tom.


Truly it was a “Loving Mountain City” effort by many, the decorating for Christmas that enhanced the season for all. Thank you to everyone. 


How proud I was of our little city that’s still somewhat out in the country when a visiting friend commented on the city’s beautiful decor. 


To recommend a new decor category for 2014, please send a note to me or to [email protected] 



In 2014, Thanksgiving once again falls late. You might want to try Val Cass’s system. Quietly install lights before Thanksgiving so they can be switched on after Thanksgiving.
