Some of the most persistent and prevailing trappings of Christmas are the colors of the season, red and green.
A comment made in a text by the curator, Brooke Peipert, of The Good Weather Gallery in Edwardsville, that Coca-Cola printed advertisements were responsible for this color scheme gave me pause to think and initiated some research.
The ensuing research leads to a news briefing of an interview with Arielle Eckstut, co-author of “Secret Language of Color” on NPR radio. She said that two components can be attributed to the color of Christmas, holly and Coca-Cola.

Rob Werden says schools are still facing the challenge of recruiting substitute teachers.
Regional Superintendent of Schools for Madison County Werden says for the last five years, most school districts throughout the county have struggled to find qualified individuals to place in classrooms when teachers are in training or ill and school officials say COVID has compounded the problem.
Several of the current substitutes are retired teachers who have continued to help in schools on a part-time basis. Because age or a health condition puts them at a higher risk for COVID, some have decided the risk was too great to continue substitute teaching which has put schools in a difficult position. To keep schools open there must be personnel in place to cover the classrooms when teachers are out.
