Across the Vineyard, this holiday season unfolded in myriad small events that twinkled like so many lights on Island streets. From the joyful festivity of the Christmas parade to the caring work of the Red Stocking Fund, to the Good Shepherd Parish supplying food to those in need, the Island’s holiday spirit is still more about people helping people. Looking about us in this season, we find fresh reasons to rejoice in calling the Vineyard home.
