Notes from the Heart...
This week New Hampshire-ite Susan Nye brings us more of her kitchen wisdom:
She says: "I love Christmas. Sure the stores are filled with frenzied chaos, holiday
advertising is merciless and catalogs overwhelm the post office. It doesn’t matter,
I still love the spirit of Christmas, traditions old and new and all of the hustle and
bustle." I agree. Read her essay here: "Christmas is What You Make It." ~M.
Dear Heart...
(No letters this week...you all must be busy with the holidays!)
Thanks for your letters, folks! Keep 'em coming :) Send your "Dear Heart"

A Not-so-Traditional Yankee Swap
Jackson, New Hampshire
December 14, 2007, 7 p.m.

Swap on December 14, 7pm at the Red Fox Bar & Grille in Jackson! This will be a
fun-filled family event. Santa will be on hand to visit with the kids and oversee the

advance to the actual Yankee Swap. The Yankee Swap will start at approximately

more. The grand prize winner will walk away with a prize valued at $1,000 or
