@JanSmithNL

Lights begin to twinkle
as the fire is lit, evening falls
Reflections of red & gold

Glitter cards, boxes & bows

The doorbell rings, how wonderful
they are here
Loved ones to share
this magical time of year

Hearing the signature catchphrase of the campaign, the audience erupted once again, the ovation magnified by the white marble column of the Statehouse rising at the Governor’s back, drowning out The Vince Guaraldi Trio’s Christmas is Coming blaring from the speakers...
