There is nothing quite as special as seeing a child’s eyes as the holiday season begins. When the Christmas tree is put up or presents magically appear under the tree, the light in a child’s eyes sparkles throughout the whole room.
In Fayette County this season, children participated in several Christmas events.
This week also marks the 190th anniversary of the classic Christmas poem, “Twas the Night Before Christmas.
According to digitaljournal.com, while the poem is a classic, it also had a big impact on the way Christmas is celebrated.

Dave and I have always thought we were the sole lovers of Christmas fruitcake on the planet. Every year, we have become used to seeing stacks of the little ruby-studded fruitcake that made Claxton, Georgia, a household name.
Fruitcake seems perfect for that not-too-pricey last-minute Christmas gift. After all, they keep virtually forever, especially when soaked in rum, and the fact that you can give them away secures their role as the answer to the everlasting question, “What should we give the mailman? Or the kids’ piano teacher? A next door neighbor? A fellow employee?”

The Coweta County Commission on Tuesday made a calculated move to stimulate business growth in the county. Commissioners by unanimous vote eliminated the impact fees previously required with new development.
Impact fees were introduced in Coweta in April 2006. Those fees were intended to help offset the cost of providing public services and capital improvements in the area of the development.
The vote to eliminate those fees completely came without discussion by the board.
