 Springfield officially commenced the Christmas week on Friday, December 19th when the “Tree” was installed in the middle of Main Street at 2nd St. Now, this is a Holiday tradition that we love!  Just be sure to watch for that great big Christmas tree in the center of the street!

Rocky, Sarah, and Annika Manzer arrived at Eppley Airfield to celebrate Christmas in Springfield. The airport was quite busy with loads of Holiday travelers. We saw many families reuniting for this joyous occasion.
 A few years ago decided to down-size Christmas at our house. Our son was serving in Iraq and we felt didn’t feel much like participating in all the shopping, decorating, and partying that Christmas seems to had  evolved into.  What a relief! That year not exhausted or stressed out, we enjoyed spending our time with family and friends more than ever and in relishing the true spirit of the Holidays.  Be sure to take some time to enjoy your loved ones and the reason for the season.
