Not bah humbug, as the Grinch may have said . . . it is really Boxing Day. Boxing Day, you ask? It is an English tradition, and especially of the aristocracy with servants. The leftovers from the Christmas dinner celebration would be "boxed" up and sent home to family members of the servants or others in need. So, what will you be doing with your leftovers?

Wishes come in a million different ways -- this little banner can be found in the empty storefront in the southeast quadrant, one store in from the former Ruth's Resale store. Hope this finds you and yours having a happy holiday.

The year is quickly coming to a close and Christmas is just around the corner. The other day as I finished up those last few stocking stuffers I needed . . . in particular, chocolates from Sweet Sensations . . . I noticed all the brightly painted windows. The outlines were created by Judy Recker and high school students filled in the blanks. The next few squint shots will show various bits of artwork . . . just in case you missed them.
