Wishing you all a Happy Hanukkah for those who celebrate it, and Merry Christmas greetings this upcoming weekend! 

The snow this past week has truly made the Sullivan Catskills into a winter wonderland, and we are so excited to start skiing locally as well.

School will be out from Friday, December 23 to Monday, January 2, and I hope you have joyous plans for the winter break.
