December ushers
in “the most wonderful time of the year!” Carols proclaim it and children of
all ages agree. The garden has gone to sleep, and the cozy fires inside draw us
near. The harvest has been gathered in - so the winter storms can begin! Those
winter storms may be literal, or just the trials life brings. Either way we can
endure, and maybe even enjoy the storms, as we are prepared. This month’s
Christmas celebrations and gift giving provide a great time for us to help those
we love and live near to add to their preparedness. May your Christmas giving help
your family and others have a Preparedness Christmas! Making extra efforts today will
pay off with the peace of preparedness tomorrow!
