BY DEXTER MCCREE, Staff Writer

Christmas time is here. For many families it’s the one time of the year where gifts and smiles shine as bright as the lights hanging from roof tops and glittering ornaments on trees. For others, the simplicity of life is gratifying enough. In speaking with a few people from the community, they were asked to express what Christmas means to them. Here are the responses.
