Description
Aiken City Councilman Ed Girardeau Christmas Greeting
A
It
was
my
good
fortune
to
grow
up
here
in
Aiken
and
during
this
time
of
year,
you
think
back
to
the
things
that
used
to
go
on
I,
remember,
sitting
on
Lawrence
Street
in
my
dad's
office,
looking
at
the
window
on
the
second
floor
and
watching
Christmas
parade
go
by
and
how
exciting
that
was,
and
my
wife
and
I
were
talking
the
other
night
and
it
all
revolved
around
things
that
happened
in
the
family
in
both
of
our
families
and
that's
really
what's
important
this
time
of
year.
Is
your
families,
those
that
you
care
about?
A
It's
helping,
others
and
all
being
one
big
family
in
Aitkin,
which
I
really
like
to
think
that
we
are?
It's
been
a
great
first
year,
I've
learned
a
lot
and
the
process
of
doing
this,
mostly
I've
learned
what
I
didn't
know
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
next
year.
Helping
the
city
continue
to
do
some
of
the
great
things
we
did
this
year
and
continue
on
that
momentum
into
2019.
