I mean, it took me an hour to shovel his sidewalk, and what do I get for it? ‘You missed the second step, Isaac. You didn’t get all the way to edge.’ Mr. Hanson is a total grinch! This is the last time I help him out.” Just then Isaac’s sister, Holly, came bouncing into the room. “Mom, the green popcorn is done, and the green soda for our grinch punch is cold. I can’t wait to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas with our special treats!” “I

You’re going to leave marks!” She sighed as Annistyn’s little sister started crying in the other room. “This house is like a war zone,” she muttered. “Oh, for some peace and quiet!” Annistyn was so wrapped up in her own thoughts she hadn’t heard a word her mother had said. “Who do you think got the part of Mary in the Christmas play?” she asked sarcastically. “Holly, of course! She didn’t even want it, but she’s Mary, and I’m the narrator—again!” Dad looked up. “Is

Soon the shimmering and festive tree looked bare except for the colorful tree skirt surrounding the tree stand. “Hey,” Henry called out. “Look at that!” He pointed to a small box wrapped in green and red paper peeking out from under a fold in the tree skirt. “Where did that come from?” Mom asked as she bent down to pick up the box. “We must have missed this when we opened our gifts.” She held the box in her hands and looked for a name. “It’s for me! From Aunt Martha,” she said in surprise. “I didn’t

Please?” echoed his sisters, Adriane and Nicole. Mom smiled. “All right,” she said, “but as you eat them, I want you to think of how they remind you of the reason we celebrate Christmas.” Each of the kids quickly selected a red and white striped candy cane from the tree. Nicole held her candy at arm’s length and stared at it. “I don’t really see what candy canes have to do with Christmas,” she said, “except that it’s the time of year when you always see lots of them. Or maybe it’s because there’s red on them—Christmas colors are red a

She didn’t feel like celebrating Christmas. Dad knows how much I want a tree, she thought, and he let me down. The sound of voices interrupted her thoughts, and she went to her door and listened. “I feel so terrible that we can’t afford a Christmas tree this year,” said Dad. He sounded very sad. “I know Katie was looking forward to on

Alison Thibault Brings The Craft Of Color To Vinalhaven: Kristan gets to sit down with Alison Thibault, the owner and founder of WindHorse Arts and the winner of the Makers of Maine pitch competition I did a while back.

Alison won the competition with over 170 votes. She has quite the story as her craft is color. She takes color and transforms it into pieces of glass jewelry. When you walk into Alison’s shop each piece shines as the sun shines through the windows. Alison talk to Kristan about how she moved to Vinalhaven and opened her storefront on the main street, the craft behind her glass pieces, how she has a passion for poetry and how that is weaved into her business, what she plans to do over the next five years with her business, and much more.

They’re supposed to get people in the mood to buy Christmas presents.” Jessie could hardly believe that the
