Ah, Christmas! That one word conjures up so many different things for different people: Celebration of the birth of Christ, old-fashioned songs, images of horses jingling away in the show, presents under the tree, etc.
Yet all of the above have one thing in common and that is, of course, tradition. This is indeed the time of year when we hum 
the familiar songs, enjoy the glitter and shine of the stores and the streets, buy presents for family members and loved ones, 
and in doing all of those, we happily give in to the good feelings of tradition, the warmth and love of the season — something we all need and want.
One tradition the Beaufort Art Association is proud to present again this year is an all-member Holiday Show that will run from Monday, Dec. 10, 2012 to Saturday, Jan. 5, 2013, at the BAA Gallery, 913 Bay St. This exhibit will include work by well-known local artists whose work is otherwise not regularly available through the gallery.
If you want to give an authentic and enduring gift to that special someone, or just want to see some interesting, colorful and locally made artwork, please visit the Beaufort Art Association’s Gallery on Bay Street, Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 2 to 5 p.m.
