On a side note… Even though the Downtown Christmas by Candle Light event was cancelled last night due to the weather. I highly suggest before pulling out the old computer and tapping your fingers to order on-line, GET UP OUT OF YOUR CHAIR… Take a trip to your DOWNTOWN and drop into your LOCAL HOMETOWN Businesses and check out what your neighbors and friends in your community are up too. There are so many unique and fun stores to find the perfect gift. WE ARE IN CRUNCH TIME MODE now because there are only 9 more days until Christmas!!!
