Letter to the editor: Christmas must be coming to The Commons
Christmas must be coming to the Commons
Two-thirty on Tuesday and I looks out and sees
Our own Santa Claus putting lights on our trees.
It’s blowing and snowing and cold as can be
But dear Santa brought Christmas for you and for me!
Editor’s note: Betty Hempel, who lived at The Commons in Middlebury before she passed away in 2018, wrote this poem more than 10 years ago in honor of Dick Pearson. Dick, who submitted this poem for our holiday coverage, recalled how Betty had seen him out the window of her Commons apartment and was prompted to record her thoughts in verse.
