Coming together for the holidays

The holiday season is one that reminds us of gathering together to celebrate, and what better example of that spirit than this past weekend.

Everywhere you looked, organizations, schools, businesses and individuals were coming together to make sure Thermopolis had plenty going on.

From a TMS wrestling conference and the Speech and Debate meet at the high school, to Nerf wars, creche displays, pictures with Santa, trees and wreaths for auction and, of course, the impressive setup of the campers downtown, we certainly brought our holiday spirit out this past week.

For some, it may be just par for the course to have that “holiday high” this time of year, but for others the weekend’s activities were certainly a wake up call or just a needed spirit recharge in the midst of all the chaos that comes with buying, decorating and preparing for guests to arrive.

May this infusion of spirit — whether it be our first injection or just a booster — stay with us as the season comes and goes. If there’s anything you shouldn’t mind catching, it’s the excitement you feel. Let’s spread it to as many people as we can!
