As well, many Fallbrook folks bought the coffee, hot cocoa, chai, cookies, and t-shirts that we had for sale. All of the people who sto...

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, but alas and alack ‘twas no fire screen there! A few feet away stood the holiday tree so majestic, so regal, and as dry as could be . . .
