We moved into our home nearly twenty-one years ago—January, H2000. At the time, we had beautiful, tall bookcases in every room, all empty and waiting to be filled up with books, hundreds of books that we unpacked and eagerly put away. Knowing that I would need room for more books as the years went by, I stuck a Post-it note on one of the bookcases that said, “1 in, 2 out!” meaning that for every new book I wanted to shelve, I had to remove two. Yeah, right. Since then, books have spilled out of bookcases onto every horizontal surface, into bas- kets and closets throughout the house. Just recently, my husband showed me a t-shirt in a catalog that said, “One does not stop buying books because there is no more shelf space.” Exactly. Another t-shirt: “Abibliophobia: The fear of running out of books to read.” Obviously, I suffer from that. This time of year is especially seductive for a book lover. All magazines (those have their own ded- icated bookcase) print lists of “the ten best books” or “best one hundred books” of the past year. Likewise, radio stations run annual programs recommending good book choices for Christmas giving. I must admit that many of those books I see stacked around are unread. I purchased them—most often from Heather at Main Street Books—with great expectations, but here is the irony: I really don’t read very much each day. I envy my husband, a voracious reader who receives a box of books from Amazon nearly every week. He reads at least three books a week. My available hours are fewer because of my teaching about twenty hours a week, so when I settle into my favorite chair, with ottoman and comfy throw, all those unfinished chores start calling me.

Santa and Mrs. Claus were also in attendance, ready to take photos and remember Christmas wants and wishes from well-behaved children. After photos with Mr. and Mrs. Claus, families were able to venture outdoors for pop- corn, crafts, hot chocolate and smores. Wood burning fires were set up for roasting marshmallows and crafting the perfect s’more. Over 1400 people attended the Spirit of Christmas Festival this year according to Stratum Real Estate’s social media. It was another successful and wildly popular Spirit of Christmas Festival.
