Christmas came to LaBelle last Saturday with vendors tables all decorated for the occasion. The Barron Park Christmas tree lighting and the annual lighted boat parade followed after dark. I welcomed the opportunity to present my newest book in the Belle of the Glades series, and I held a drawing for a Christmas basket and was pleased to present it to Charlene Claireborne. Congrats Charlene! Merry Christmas to all who stopped by my table to visit a spell. Thank you readers for your time. I wish you a blessed Christmas and happy New Year.
