Are you done shopping? Are you enjoying the season, as different as it may be this year? For me, there is nothing quite like a peppermint mocha to put me in the holiday mood. As you do your holiday shopping, please remember to consider smaller local companies – they have struggled through this year and could certainly use a boost. Please enjoy our lovely island, but remember to do it all safely. We’re in this together – let’s all do our part to keep our island home safe. #wearamask #stay6feetapart #washyourhands
