Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays to all in the Loganville-Grayson Patch readership area - and most especially to those in distant places serving our country!

A Christmas quote:

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveler, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! Charles Dickens.

Editors Note: From my family to yours, I wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will be on vacation from today and I am leaving you in the very capable hands of guest editor Gail Lane. I will see you back here on Jan 5, 2013.
