Celebrate the Seasons

Summer is over, fall is here! Cooler nights, warm fires and the holiday celebrations. First Halloween, then Thanksgiving and yes only 79 days to Christmas!!

Halloween is a time for celebrations, play parties, carving pumpkins, bobbing for apples, public events to celebrate the harvest and to go "trick or treating." That means free candy. Lots of good free candy!!

Thanksgiving; the Pilgrims and Indians shared an autumn harvest feast. Meat, vegetables, fruits and nuts. Celebrations of thanks have great meaning and importance, especially the Thanksgiving feast. Be thankful for what you have: family, friends and health. Share with others around you.
Christmas is another time for celebration! Children hang stockings, hoping they will be filled with treats. Trees are decorated with ornaments, lights, popcorn, nuts, cookies, and candy canes. And always the sharing of gifts. Giving is always better than receiving. Everyone loves chocolate and as a gift it is always appropriate.
