Merry Christmas

<< Back to archives | Saturday, December 25, 2004

From all of us in Fairhaven to you and your loved ones, Merry Christmas. We hope you have a joyful holiday.

Our treasured statue of Fairhaven founder Dirty Dan Harris seems to be enjoying the soft rain on this Christmas Day. The real Dan was a person with great vision and was not well understood. He would have been happier without the nickname, as he was never fully accepted into local society. Today, local society is most grateful for his vision and hard work in founding and promoting Fairhaven.

‘Tis perhaps a seasonal reminder to all of us that we should accept all persons as worthy of our respect, regardless of whether we fully understand them, their beliefs, or their life habits. The deciding factor for respect should be mutual respect. And close behind respect should be love - the message of Christmas. Daniel Jefferson Harris and his wife would have appreciated a bit more of that. Let us, the living, learn from the past and from history.

The Silvery Moon has just returned from the World's Largest Gem Show with a huge selection of mohi colored sapphires and new designs. Show your Valentine your love.
