November 11, 2008 | 
I believe that the “Christmas spirit” is already swirling through Clarksville like plump snowflakes that enhance all that they fall upon with newfound purity and beauty. This city represents the “melting pot” of America with the same kind of unique diversity that we’ve all learned about snowflakes.
