Thanks to all of you who called and wrote in last year to express your support for the Christmas Parade. This is just one of several examples I’m planning to post this year of success stories I’ve witnessed since last year. The Grinchs are feeling the push back, so be encouraged and continue to speak out in support of Christmas!
