The small town image affects the last minute hustle and bustle of shoppers in the downtown area during a light snow and the last minutes of Christmas shopping. The moon adds a lustre to the nighttime activities as shoppers hurry in and out of local shops! The air is fresh and crisp and the sound of carolers can be heard. Cars have not yet begun to accumulate snow, so one can still identify the late fifties and early sixties autos parked along the streets. Children with their frisky dogs, and maybe a sleigh or two, dodge in and out of slow moving traffic! The clap of horse hooves adds a steady slow beat to the jovial mood!
