Christmas "Tree"... Tap into our Innovation

As December 25 draws nearer the Christmas Spirit must be nurtured at whatever expense. I shiver at the thought that our town is not being led to the utmost of this Christmas Spirit.

It is true that this Spirit is deep in all our hearts; not even scrooges can change that.

We need in Orange Walk a concerted drive (some might call it competition) towards showing off a beautiful Christmas Tree and decorations in all our homes and moreover out in our yards for all of us to feed off and get a better feel of that spirit.

Christmas might not be a tree nor all the beautiful lights but these surely do go a long way to making the food tastier and the air smell cleaner.

Our homes, streets, schools and parks must be adorned with lights and symbols that reflect the pride we have of our town and joy of the holidays. This decoration ought to look good also during the day.

We must challenge the artistically inclined to come up with the best arrangements. With the proper incentives, they can easily be motivated to ultimately beautify Orange Walk in this time of joy.

Sounds like an idea for next year huh?

This is what I met this year at our park... let us take this as an example of something not to tolerate.

And at night, well the light were not even on. It might have been best.
