I forgot that after the Christmas brunch the flowers that decorated the tables in Garlock so festively come to the library. What a delightful lift of spirits to see all the bright red and soft white plants wrapped in their gold and green foil pots.
We had put up the library Christmas tree, nativity, big red bows, and huge lighted wreath back at Thanksgiving time. And those decorations always look grand, especially when you view the lighted tree housed in the Fireside Reading Room from out in the parking lot.
But the flowers add just that much more festivity to the place. I don't know if the students are aware of it, or even the rest of the staff. But I sure appreciate these plants and the cheerful countenance they present. It makes me want to greet everyone with a joyful "Merry Christmas."
