Merry Christmas! It is impossible to believe that it is that time of year again. The clock is ticking at warp speed. I feel like I was just putting away the Christmas decorations yesterday and now I am taking them out again.

In 4-feet-high letters strung across the front of the manure pit on Ryans Glade Farm, a twinkling light display reads “Moo Moo Moo Dairy Christmas” – a dairy farmer's take on “Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas.”
