Happy Crazy Christmas Sweaters for a Cause day to all those who celebrate! 

We are delighted to support the Park River Area Imagination Library program again this year and sponsor a year's worth of books for a local child. Reading is a gift.

The fashion is just a bonus. Though this may not be a typical Christmas sweater, I was recently gifted this from my grandma Steffie Daley‘s collection, and it brings me joy. 🎄🎅🎄🤶

Plower Ranger has his work cut out for him today. If this weather has cut into your shipping or shopping days, we have the gift that keeps on giving all year long.

Email the Press at [email protected] with your contact information for mailing and your preferred method of billing. We can take it from there!

In the meantime, stay warm, stay safe, and if at all possible, stay home.
