HOLIDAY DECORATIONS AND SPECIAL SPARKLE

Nothing takes the joy out of the holiday season quite like having our Christmas decorations stolen from our yards or houses.

These decorations represent our view of the holiday. Some decorations are plain and sedate. Others are elaborate and riotous. Either way, they express a special feeling about this special season.

And then along comes someone who takes those special decorations. What for? Just to be mean? To use in decorating their own yards and houses?

You know what?

Anyone who steals Christmas decorations is in the same lowlife league as those who take special floral arrangements and other decorations off the graves of our loved ones. And there is hardly anything more disgusting than that.

To all of you have gone to the trouble to make our community brighter and happier by putting up outdoor decorations, a hearty thank you. Your efforts are appreciated. You help chase away the shadows of the early December sunsets. And you remind us of just how wonderful this holiday season is.
