Woah, December.  I don’t know why but I always look at December as an ending, a wrap up of another chapter of life.  I know I should just look at it as holiday time but under the surface I am always thinking, well that’s that....

Holiday season….  It’s a little crazy how we go from packed streets in Bar Harbor until the end of October now to November and the end of paid parking on downtown streets because there are so many spots available. Then election day...
