After making it through Thanksgiving, we are heading full speed ahead into the holiday season. Decorations are already evident in and around our community. There will be lots of social gatherings and lots of food during the upcoming weeks.
Enjoy yourself in moderation and stay safe. The flu, RSV and COVID are still around.
