Merry Christmas Poinciana! The end of the year celebrations in the community have been wonderful – a far cry from last year’s “Season of COVID.” Christmas is a wonderful day, but it may not be so happy and joyous for those who have lost love ones. Check on your friends and neighbors who may be a little down. Bring your spirit and goodwill to share with others!
