I went through town last night finding myself saying “oh” and “ah” seeing all the wonderful lights and decorations. I thought, what a lot of hard work and time decorating, business owners and town workers had done.

Thanks for all who participated in the Chamber’s Holiday Decorating Contest. You have managed to bring beauty and joy to our town for the holidays.

When my children were very young, the highlight of the season would be to pile them into the car and drive around to see all the beautiful lights and decorations — and if there was snow on the ground, that was a plus!

To the San Juan Island Chamber of Commerce and all the town and business folks, thank you one and all. It is very much appreciated.

Merry Christmas!
