Merry Christmas from Monroe-GA Patch

Merry Christmas and a Happy Holidays to all in the Monroe-GA Patch readership area - and most especially to those in distant places serving our country!

A Christmas quote:

May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,
The gladness of Christmas give you hope,
The warmth of Christmas grant you love.
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet
The words repeat
Of peace on earth, good-will to men!  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Editors Note: From my family to yours, I wish you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will be on vacation from today and I am leaving you in the very capable hands of guest editor Gail Lane. I will see you back here on Jan 5, 2013.
