"Cultivators of the earth are the most valuable citizens. They are the most vigorous, the most independent, the most virtuous, and they are tied to their country and wedded to its liberty and interests by the most lasting bands."

Christmas Time is Here


Only a few more hours until Christmas! It makes me smile to think back on past Christmases. I remember many a Christmas Eve trying to keep my eyes open as long as I could while Mom would be rushing around getting last minute details taken care of. This year, I’d rather not resist the pull of heavy eyelids, but will probably have to stay up to finish wrapping presents and to look for the gifts I bought my mom and sister a couple months ago. The plan was to hide them from my family, not from myself…

Anyway, as you enjoy your Christmas goose, ham, turkey, chicken, roast… whatever you eat for Christmas dinner, I hope you remember to thank the Lord for providin’, the farmer for raisin’, and your cook for cookin’. And of course, don’t forget the reason for the season!

Enjoy, and have a very Merry Christmas!
