We end our publishing year with an issue that we all enjoy sharing with you. It is our annual Christmas issue, featuring drawings and writing by area school children on the theme “What Christmas and the holidays mean to me.” The drawings convey delightful perspectives and capture what this season is all about. There is a feature story on the history of Christmas carols, our annual Christmas editorial and numerous holiday greeting ads from area businesses and organizations. Just a reminder that content from this two-in-one issue will be up for two weeks, as we do not publish Christmas week. Our next issue comes out January 4. On December 18, for the third Monday in a row, our area was hit by another storm cycle. This week's was the worst yet, leaving hundreds of thousands of people across the state, including many thousands in our local coverage area, without power for extended periods as fallen trees took down power lines. Many roads were blocked and 2-plus inches of rain caused minor flooding. Southeast winds, with gusts near 70 mph, brought high waves and flying spray. We have overview coverage.
