☀️ Good Morning— and welcome to Good Morning, Coulee—the newsletter that’s about to fire up all three installments of The Santa Claus.

Today on Good Morning, Coulee:

🎄 From my family to yours, Merry Christmas.

🕰 A moment in time from the La Crosse Historical Society.

📆 Nothing to share with you today as far as happenings go—we’ll get back to that tomorrow.

Alright, my friends. Merry & bright. Let’s do this. 👇

Here’s what I was listening to when I wrote this email. 👇

Auld Lang Syne - Guy Lombardo

"One of the most glorious messes in the world is the mess created in the living room on Christmas Day. Don’t clean it up too quickly."

ℹ️ On Christmas Eve 1947, readers of the La Crosse Tribune were greeted by this peaceful winter scene titled “Silent Night.”

Illustrated by Howard Colvin, the artwork, now in the LCHS collection, captures a quiet moment beneath a starry sky—an image of stillness and reflection during the holiday season.
