Do you need just one more gift for someone? How about purchasing some Salisbury gear for your student or parent? Visit the Salisbury Youth Association store in the South Mall on Lehigh Street. They sell T-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, sports gear and more. Show your Falcon spirit.

While you are at the South Mall, stop and get your picture taken with Santa. The backdrop has been updated and Santa will sit next to your child for a beautiful picture. Appointments are required at Silversolutionsphoto.com.

Jerusalem Western Salisbury Church will have three ways to worship on Christmas Eve this year. There will be a drive-in church service 4 p.m. in the parking lot and an in-person service 7 p.m.; however, this is limited to 120 people and any overflow will be asked to listen from their car using the FM transmitter. Third, the 7 p.m. service will be recorded and aired online. You are invited to participate in whichever service works best for you.

I wish you all a peaceful, restful holiday season. Enjoy time with family and friends. If possible, do something nice for at least one person, whether it be family, a friend or a complete stranger.
