Did you know that the Abshires open their highly decorated home for a night every December to members of the Orange Park Rotary Club for their annual Christmas party?

		<description><![CDATA[A message sent to me by a high school friend, Margaret.
This is very inspiring and worth of being read everywhere this
Christmas.




The embers glowed softly, and in their dim light,
