Didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas? Still haven’t received the Hanukkah present you were hoping for? Stumped for the perfect Kwanzaa gift? Never fear! The Shop in the Garden holiday sale is here! So much better than hitting the mall.

And now that we have turned the corner on the shortest day of the year and are in the midst of the Festival of Lights, all seems a little brighter, too.

Though I’m no longer holding my breath for a white Christmas, I’m not bummed, because that just means more lunchtime walks in the Forest!
