City Council Christmas Reception

City Hall, a place of enjoyment? It seems so, it's Christmas and our Mayor has thrown city employees a Christmas reception with cookies, punch, cider and Starbucks coffee. Council members became human for a while, several sang Christmas carols, Jingle Bells, Rudolph and Silent Night filling our ears nostalgically, touching our heart's memories. A steel drum band playing wonderful music, touched our Christmas senses, making our spirits come alive. A welcome respite on a Friday afternoon, a wonderful present from our city government. Employees gathered, listening, talking, eating, enjoying the afternoon, appreciating their good fortune in this year 2000. (3: 42 p.m. - 12/15/00)
