As everyone rushes to shop, bake and send cards for the holidays, remember those in our community who are less fortunate.

The holidays are always a tough time for those struggling financially.

The first official day of winter is Dec. 21.

Take good care this winter, and look after those neighbors and friends who may not be able to get out much.

Keep warm and safe!

Enjoy celebrating the holidays, but remember to always choose a designated driver.
