December so far has been a very challenging month for us.

We spent eight days without power in the cold during a terrible Killer Ice Storm that crippled the state. In fact today, 10 full days after that storm there are still many New Hampshire people without power.

It's amazing that something like that can happen in the year 2008...that people can freeze to death in their homes!

It also makes you realize what is important and puts a lot of life's day to day stresses in perspective.

In that light I say simply to all of you... May the simple joys of this season shed light, hope and fill your hearts with warmth and peace.

Glad to see you have your lights back.  We haven't had our turn yet this year......maybe it will miss us.  We finally bought a generator.  Merry Christmas to you and your family.
