As quickly as we clean up the Thanksgiving dishes and leftovers, we begin to put up the holiday decorations.

Be careful if you plan to climb up on the roof or the ladder to deck the halls.

The Stiles neighborhood is beginning to look merry and bright as neighbors start the decorating process. Thank you to all the neighbors who have made the community look happy and festive.

Holiday shopping is in full swing. To make your commute easier through our crowded roadways during the season, make a list and have a well thought-out plan as to where you need to stop. Remember to be courteous to other drivers during this peaceful season, too.

Also, nothing is better than being able to stay in the comfort of home and shop on the Internet. If you do not feel like fighting the crowds, this may be the option for you. Stay safe!
