Reporter's note: Each year the Presbyterian Church in Chinook decorates a Christmas tree with white and gold handmade ornaments. The ornaments are known as Chrismons. I'd seen these ornaments on trees in other parts of the country, mostly in churches, but didn't know the history and origins of the unique three-dimensional decorations.

Once again it is that magical time of year called Christmas. To paraphrase Robert Frost, we stop often to watch the falling of downy flake along the streets and boulevards of our home towns or even better, we stop out on Beaver Creek to watch those woods fill up with snow. Christmas is for giving and those who have been giving all year long certainly know how to do it now. It is a time to share, reflect and wait for the Christ Child to be born and once again come into our homes and families. In the meantime we light candles, get Yule logs roari...
