Getting ready for the holidays

The local CVS is already winding down its Halloween sales and putting out its Christmas merchandise. Radio station WNIC is getting ready to go "all Christmas all the time" again. And did you see the snow up in New England during the Patriots' rout of the Titans this past Sunday?

Last year's living nativity at Fletcher Field.

Yup, it's beginning to look a lot like ... well, at least it's time to start thinking about the holiday season.

Shield of Faith minister Imogene Johnson is way ahead of the game. She has reserved Gunther the camel and some other animals from a local petting farm for the afternoon of Dec. 5, when we will attempt to put on our second annual living nativity.

Last year, we held the event at Fletcher Field on a cold, blustery, snowy day. This year, we might hold it on the grounds of SOF, formerly Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church, to get some shelter from inclement weather.

Wherever the living nativity is held, we could sure use your help. Our little group is running on fumes these days, and some fresh fuel would be a blessing.

If you're interested, please email me at mjhappyii@hotmail.com or Minister Johnson at wdjohnson0742@sbcglobal.net as soon as possible.

Speaking of, don't forget about Treats 'n Trunks at Fletcher Field on Sunday at 2 p.m.
