What Is Christmas?Pittston township poet Michael English is at it again with the following submission for the holiday season. 
Christmas is a merry time A time for exchanging gifts A time for bells to chime! Christmas is for spreading love Which is sent from Jesus above Decorating trees, putting up the  Christmas lights Children wondering where Santa is setting his sights Exchanging Christmas cards Dressing in shining attire Drinking homemade wine Eating chestnuts by an open fire Christmas is here It is here at last The Holiday sure comes around Very fast! Picking a child&rsquo;s name Off the needy tree These are some things That go down in history Toys piled on Santa&rsquo;s sleigh Reindeer flying on Christmas Eve These are some things we all grew up to believe So as Rudolph guides the sleigh through the snow With his shiny red nose aglow We can all realize that Santa Claus Comes from the shining stars above And we can all believe, my friends, That Christmas is a time for friendship and love Helping Hands-
Duryea Lions got a head start putting up Christmas lighting. Pictured are Lions Donald Bernardi, Mark Stillwagon, Comcast and Lion President Jim Steer. Absent from photo, Lion Charles Thomas and Lions Louis Radle.
