It sure is cold this Saturday afternoon. I am glad I don’t have to go anywhere.

Did you know that in Germany most people leave their Christmas trees up until Jan. 6, which is Three Kings Day? Most families don’t decorate their trees until the afternoon of Christmas Eve, which may be why they leave them up longer? In my hometown, one of the local youth groups goes around and collects the trees every year.

This has been another slow news week and I do apologize. Let’s hope for more next week. Call me at 824-1113 or e-mail heinrichcracker@gmail.com.

Have a great week, wear a mask, get vaccinated, and keep on smiling.
