It looked like a tornado had hit our space..
The stockings were hanging from the ceiling fan without a care,
It was obvious that three children hepped up on sugar lived there.
On Friday, December 14, a gunman went into an Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut and killed 20 kids and several staff members.
Since the incident happened, I’ve been trying to wrap my head around it.

What is wrong with people?
By the time you settle down to read your Graphic today, Christmas will be a new memory. A lot of folks will be back at work or rushing to the after Christmas sales. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and took time to enjoy the holiday with family and friends.
There was plenty going on locally to keep everyone in the holiday spirit! We are so fortunate to have organizations that take time to plan these events for families to enjoy.
