Please put on sked as December cover story.

I have a 500 word heartwarming piece on Christmas trees. I am a free lance writer in Kerrville and do work for the Kerrville Times, San Antonio Express-News. “A Christmas Necessity” address the importance of a Christmas tree. Clips on request. thanks for your time.
