Even though the shortest day of the year is the winter solstice , December 21 or 22, it surely seems that the shortest days are now and that’s because the sun sets earlier in early December then it does on the solstice.
No wonder that Christmas is filled with lights from the lights on the tree, to the star of the wondrous Star of the East.
This year is the 500th anniversary of the first Christmas tree that was cut and erected in Riga, Latvia in the year 1510.
Thankfully for us, the Hessian soldiers defending Trenton and Princeton, New Jersey were busy celebrating Christmas and not expecting the sly fox George Washington to attack them and take these two towns!
Don’t forget that if you’ve been thinking about a real Christmas tree, that we can deliver and even set it up in your stand for a very reasonable fee. All you need to do is decorate the tree to your liking!
Please purchase a stand such as Cinco brand that is the right size for the tree as it’s not a good idea to shove the tree trunk down the middle of a small stand as the tree will no longer take up water to remain fresh.
Remember, Santa is coming next weekend between 12:00 and 3:00 Saturday and Sunday (December 11th & 12th) and will be available for photographs.
Be sure to bring your children, grand children and even great grand children as Santa is very convincing even though he is actually a Nortonite named Tim Crawford who is well known in Norton and throughout Summit County.
Remember too that all the excitement with Santa is free!
Hope for snow,
Tom
