What a year it has been. Although so much has\u003cbr\u003ehappened, it seems like I was just writing 2023 holiday thoughts. A year has passed and\u003cbr\u003ewe are making plans for 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI am finally retired as I have officially resigned from the boards I served on. As much as\u003cbr\u003eI believe in the work that the two organizations do, distance and night driving were\u003cbr\u003egetting to me. Zoom meetings were helpful, but remote participation wasn’t fair\u003cbr\u003ebecause actual hands-on volunteers are needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAddressing our changing health needs has also taken up a good amount of our time.\u003cbr\u003eRemember the kiddie song, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes? Well apparently, when\u003cbr\u003eyou are in your vintage years, there’s a doctor for each of them. Holidays wreak havoc\u003cbr\u003eon appointment schedules, so we are well into 2025.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs I have mentioned before, we have been renovating the summer camp. This past\u003cbr\u003esummer we completed the outdoor shower, a small half-bath in the basement, and\u003cbr\u003epainted the large porch floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe left our contractor gutting the main bathroom while I order materials online to be\u003cbr\u003edelivered and installed hopefully before the first snowfall. Who knew you could order a\u003cbr\u003ewhole shower kit from Amazon and have it delivered?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, while he is doing that, I will be negotiating with my kids on colors and finishes.\u003cbr\u003eThat brings us to the 12 Days of Christmas and beyond. Wreath decorating with the\u003cbr\u003eGarden Committee on the 3rd , the Ladies Christmas Luncheon on the 8th and The\u003cbr\u003eHoliday Party on the 12th are on the calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe decorating, present shopping and wrapping, the cooking, and Wassailing need to\u003cbr\u003ebe done. (Especially the Wassailing.)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo please enjoy your holidays with family and friends and my wish for a prosperous and\u003cbr\u003eHappy New Year to one and all!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0028\/7925\/files\/Chatter_2024_12.pdf?v=1732547332\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRead December 2024 Chatter\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e","brand":"Cranberry Creek HOA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44847290089653,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/0028\/7925\/files\/December2024_5aa56af0-4ec5-440b-881f-7935108f305d.jpg?v=1732547793","url":"https:\/\/cranberrycreekers.org\/products\/december-2024","provider":"Cranberry Creek HOA🍒","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
