Do you feel it?—An extra cheery
greeting, the abundance of good
will, the growing sense of expect
ancy, the feeling that we are all
moving happily to something very
extra special? We are. It is
Christmas at Salem!
Perhaps because Salem has seen
nearly two hundred celebrations of
this season, it has a deeper signi
ficance here. It transcends gaiety
and outward show. Perhaps the
inner and spiritual values are in
tensified here by the very meaning
of the word “Salem” itself^—peace.
Whatever the reason, may the
real spirit of a Salem Christmas—
love, faith, and inner peace — be
yours. This is my Christmas wish
for each of you.
