Happy Holidays! Its Christmas time again and we are all getting ready for that special day. The streets of downtown are decorated in lights and the shops are anxiously awaiting the Christmas rush. The Holidays are such a great time a year. We all spend hours searching for the perfect gift to give to our loved ones so that they can provide us with the one thing that makes Christmas worth it, a smile. That gift of a smile makes the search, the expense and the wrapping all worth it. Although gift giving seems to be very commercialized, to me it represents the love that we have for one another. It is not about the amount that you spend on your loved one, rather it is the time and thought that you put into the gift. We hope that this Christmas season, you not only spend your time and money on searching for the perfect gift, but you also invest in the people that you love. The advertisers and the publishers of Sea Island Scene, wish you and all the people you love a Merry Christmas and a Happy Holiday Season! Tiffany Santagati
