Home for the Holidays by Dave Barnhouse ~ Once again the family has gathered to celebrate the holidays with all the traditional activities.  The ice has been swept and a small fire has been built for the skating party.  The red Farmall Model M tractor will carry back the perfect Christmas tree that all will help to decorate.  New arrivals, laden with gifts, are welcomed with open arms.  The setting sun is a reminder that these winter days are short and even with all the holiday preparations, work on the farm does not stop.
