The Hope of Christmas. We need hope this year. The Hope of Christmas. 

We need hope this year. 

You can tell by how early people began decorating. 

Houses have been lit since mid-November.  Santas and Frosties were inflated – some the day after Halloween.  We need hope- real hope.

Not even Santa or Frosty can bring the kind of hope we desperately need this year.
