Christmas Edition

The Times presents its 2011 version of the Christmas Special Section,a long-standing tradition in Waitsburg. Thanks to the generous assistance and efforts of the staff and students of the Waitsburg School District, we publish the children's poems, stories and letters to Santa with the Christmas season as a backdrop.

The special section would not be possible without the support of the many local businesses, whose advertising helps make these pages a community gathering. Please take a moment to reflect on these companies - large and small - and remember to patronize them in 2012.

The staff at The Times invites you now to immerse yourself in the joy of Christmas, as seen through the eyes of our local children in their own unedited words. We hope, from the bottom of our hearts, that you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.
