Diana Smith is the head of the wreath-making activities and invites anyone to come help decorate the wreaths—no experience needed. They also welcome donations of red berries and greens such as yew, boxwood, arborvitae, etc. Click here to sign up or call Smith at 781-259-9759.

Jim, an English Lineback ox, takes a snack break during his recent walk from Minute Man National Historical Park, where he and some other bovins graze on open space, back to their home with the Travis family on Oxbow Road. Jim and another calf were a birthday surprise for George Travis 13 years ago; he now weighs about 3,400 pounds (Jim, not George). The Travises own several other English Linebacks along with some Highlands and Irish Dexters and periodically move them back and forth to the Minute Man land.  — Photo by Harold McAleer
