On occasion, we all experience a little bit of the "ba humbugs" during the holiday season. 

Don't let it get you down. Turn that frown upside down.

Just remember, that if The Grinch can receive the Town of Jupiter's Cheermeister Award, you too can put a smile back on your face!

 Smile and Happy Holidays!
