Tis the Season -- and its off and running!

Friends,

The stroll has started and the evidence proclaims a great Christmas season.

People are talking about the Parade.  What a fun, family event.  The rain did not stop the families and the children.  More people this year than in previous years.  Bands came from as far away as University High School, Waco.  Brought back old memories of the rival between University and LaVega.  Each year, before the Friday evening football game, University would burn a big "U" our lawn.  Oh, My!

The children lighting the Salado Christmas tree was more than special.  There is nothing like the excitement and wonderment of children at Christmas.  The cookies and hot chocolate went faster than fast.  And, Santa, was tremendous.  Handing him the list brought forth a sign, and "Are you ever going to grow-up?"

43 floats that made the Rose Parade blush with envy.  One was an ancient pick-up truck with headlights of all colors.  And, once again, the children -- twirlers, tumblers, Sunday School classes, and bands.  Fort Hood was spectacular with their band and horses.

Checking with a few stores Friday afternoon -- lots of people and good sales.

Everyone is looking forward to "Christmas Carol" at Table Rock.  Please do not miss this presentation.  It is going to be spectacular.

Lots and lots happening.  Enjoy!
