Christmas on the square

Monday is the big conclusion of the year-long observance of Bedford County’s 200th birthday. I’m a member of the Bicentennial Organizing Committee.

Today, we had our next-to-last event: a two-hour “Christmas on the Square” climaxing with the first-ever lighting of a newly-planted courthouse Christmas tree.

The newspaper sponsored photos with Santa in the courthouse, and when I was looking around inside Santa, who knows me, invited me to sit on his lap.

Whenever Jimmy Jones gives me the photo, some time next week, I will post it here.

Meanwhile, living alone and not entertaining, it’s been a few years since I replaced my last little artificial tree. I found a dirt-cheap tree with fiber-optic lights among the branches today at Dollar General Market, and I put it up tonight. It’s not much, but it makes things feel a little more like Christmas.
