We take a different approach to our feature section and highlight a few of the unique people behind some of the local products and places we shop, especially for gifts. Melinda Dalgarn took a few trips to Yarn Soup. Julien’s Journal also visited Mike and Julie Delaney of Irish Meadows Alpaca Farm. We also include the “Voices of Christmas” stories and poetry from our readers. Happy holidays and best wishes for the New Year. Mais
