			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>     The Christmas and Holiday Seasons can bring a welcome relief to the busy lifestyle we all live.<br />
     There is something about walking downtown, breathing the crisp, cold air, and looking at the colorful lights dancing on the lamp posts, businesses, and even the trees in Millenium Park.<br />
     Window shop, grab a cup of coffee, eat a meal, find that special gift, or just having the freedom to walk about, freedoms we can be thankful for.<br />
     I guess all the lights are like a winter rainbow that we can follow to true riches. For although Lake Oswego and many of its citizens are financially fortunate, it is the value of our family and friends that help us navigate life&#8217;s struggles and help us keep a proper perspective.</p>
