The winter solstice is coming up Dec. 21. This will be the shortest day of the year.

The bright side of this is that we are now on our way to longer days ahead. Stay warm!

With the holiday season in full swing, please take care when celebrating and visiting with friends and relatives. Enjoy the time spent together, but remember to select a designated driver to stay safe.
