Letter: A most wonderful 
time of the year

We have just experienced a most wonderful time of the year – Christmas.  But there are many other times also wonderful, for different reasons.

It’s true, there is that wonderful anticipation of Christmas with the songs and decorations, the excitement of little children. But after Christmas, there is a letdown in the aftermath. It’s over too soon.

January looms on the horizon. Long lines in the stores at the return and exchange counters.  Snow, wind and cold temperatures are all so bleak. But then comes February and a few warm days and we start thinking of spring.
