PAGE 2 THE CHARLESTOWN PATRIOT-BRIDGE DECEMBER 26, 2019 editorial HAPPY HOLIDAYS

This is a wonderful time of the year, to paraphrase the song, with holiday music playing in the malls and on our car radios, resurrecting our earliest childhood memories -- even for the younger set -- of Christmases- past. We choose just the right tree, decorate it carefully with our family-heir- loom ornaments, and when we first turn on the lights, it brings a smile even to the oldest among us. Despite the hectic rushing to and fro’, everybody it seems, is in a good mood. We endure the traffic, the long lines in stores, and more, because we know that what we are doing will bring joy and happiness to others. For those of us with young children, we get to see Christmas through their eyes, giving us a second-chance to experience the wonder and joy that we felt when we were their age. Although all of us celebrate the holiday season in our own way, the common thread is one of peace, joy, and happiness, regardless of religious or secular beliefs. Whether it be Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or a Seinfeldian Festivus, the spirit of the season imbues us with a sense of togetherness that transcends whatever negativity may exist both in our own lives and in the world around us. We wish all of our readers a happy holiday season.

Alumni (from pg. 1) gone on to further their education. That’s where the returning college kids play such a critical role. Gallagher said the young kids see the older kids, and remember them being camp counselors or staff members. Then they learn they’ve gone on to Harvard, Mass Maritime, Northeastern or any other college. That sets a standard, he said, for them to reach towards. “They are alumni, but they’re not old enough to be part of the older alumni group we have,” he said. “So they’ve formed their own group informally. What’s huge is when they come in, you have a huge group of 7-to 12-year-olds and they see the Club kids that have moved on to Harvard or UMass. Yet, even though they’re now off to college, they haven’t forgotten the kids and want to give back.” Last Friday, amidst staff and children dressed in pajamas for the Christmas Party – which is helped out with generous donations from companies and private individuals – there were also college kids decked out in their pajamas and laughing along with the younger children. “When they have a choice and want to come back and help, that means so much,” said Gallagher. “That’s when we know we’ve been successful. Without us forcing it, the kids here now see the older kids that left and Several ‘Club Alumni’ who are college-age students came back to the Club during school break to help run the 6-12-year-old Christmas Party/ are successful in college.
