Editor’s Note
Mistletoe and candy canes, bright reds and green! I am so happy! As
I have never been! Oh, Christmas won’t you hurry!?!
It is unseasonably warm outside and a part of me is not so happy
about that. Don’t get me wrong...I love the amazing weather we are
enjoying in the WG! But I’d like a nip in the air so I can feel the Season!
Hooray! It’s December, and all the time of 2018 that has gone and is
but a memory. How quickly the year turned. How swiftly the seasons
changed. How wonderful that Christmas is near and so is the New Year!

And that means another new beginning. Another chance to look back
and see how we have grown as a community! From Tucker Ranch to
Hamlin and all the burgeoning new neighborhoods, the new eateries
and drinkeries...wait, is that even a word? Did I just make that up?
Why not?! It’s December and everything is merry! Just look at how
beautifully the WG glows under the twinkle of lights!
