Rabbit-hash tale and holiday notes from the community

It references Abe Lincoln era roads, nearby neighborhoods, and a banter about Barawaller and Hog Ridge, then shifts to holiday meals at multiple homes and lists visitors from various towns, ending with a note on bridge and road projects and a Happy New Year greeting to The Democrat and its friends.
