As we enter the holiday season, we know the days are cold, the nights are long, and so, naturally… we party. We have had an “end-of-season” party at the research farm, celebrating the success of yet another year with all the labs that work on peaches, including the virology, pathology, pomology, and of course, our breeding lab. We also had the joy to meet Clemson Santa, or probably more accurate, the esteemed Clemson Wintery Wizard at the College holiday drop-in, where students, faculty, and staff were invited to join in carol singing, and door prizes. 
Now, we head home to reflect back on the season behind, rest, and then change our focus to the season ahead.
May you bask in the warmth and brightness of friends and family (and many more parties)!
