I spent some time the last week visiting with my 3-year-old grandson out of state. He told me all about Santa and “kissmuss”. He also got his holidays mixed up a bit as he said he would either be a policeman for “kissmuss” or a dinosaur.  Whatever he decides, I can’t wait for my annual Christmas morning Facetime call.

Here in Cloverdale, our holiday calendars are jam packed. Take a look at page 7 and check out all the things that are
happening. Don’t miss the Winter Festival, the first Community Choir performance, photos with Santa, Holiday light contests, the Lions Toy Run, Kiwanis Crab Feed, The Christmas Table and more.

What holiday traditions do you enjoy? When I was little, on New Years Eve at midnight, my mom would hand my brother and I pots and pans and have us run from the back of the house to the front of the house, making as much noise as we could,
chasing the bad out and making room for all the good that would happen in the new year. I think I’ll bring that tradition back this year and maybe even dress up as a dinosaur – we need all the positive thoughts as possible.

I’ll see you around town!
