It's a Wonderful Life!
Greetings from The Porch!
We bring you tidings of comfort and joy! Like many
small towns across America our Main Street is adorned with sprays of pine boughs and ribbons and
is waiting for its first blanket of snow. The lake is quiet now its banks thickening with ice,
shoppers scurry in and out of shops, restaurants radiate delectable aromas and all over our town
windows glow with anticipation of the holy season.
A gift opens the way for the giver and
ushers him into the presence of the great.
~ Book of Proverbs 18:16
We invite you to create cherished memories in this
month of miracles. And because Christmas is such an endearing and busy time, we're just going to

It came without ribbons,
It came without tags,
It came without packages, boxes, or bags.
Christmas can't be bought from a store...
Maybe Christmas means a little bit more.
~ Dr. Seuss

Make Spirits Bright!
A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away.
