This is one of those years when we can really use a “little Christmas!”
Granted, the tragedy of the past week has practically made it impossible to think of the arrival of Christmas. Add to that, the devastation Sandy left in its wake, and you have the makings of a holiday season that takes a back seat to these other real life concerns...
For the past few years, two of my neighbors have waged a "friendly competition" when it comes to home Christmas lights. Clark Griswold ("Christmas Vacation") would be proud!
