Volunteers A Christmas Classic Gifts sit enticingly under the tree, tempting you to sneak a peek at what s inside. Frustrated shoppers scramble after the last toy, knocking others aside to get that special gift.

Sparkling lights, up since the first of November, line porch after porch. The delicious aroma of fresh-baked fudge lures kids into the kitchen.

With everything going on, sometimes it is all too easy to forget the real reason for the season.
