Clean Sweep Story

Item #6349

Cairn Seminar Series

(October, 1997) The new year is a good chance to sweep away life’s cobwebs and debris. Throw out those bad habits, and polish up your good intentions. Two of the best ways to start the new year are to renew old friendships and to make new friends. So this Woodspirit and rabbit are on their way to visit their pals from “Cairn Christmas 1998.” They’ve been friends for years, but haven’t stayed in touch as much as they would have liked. They are looking forward to the reunion, and to the opportunity to make a new friend. They have a coin from Switzerland, a country that loves the snowy, winter weather. Their gift is a broom for Mr. Snowman — the finishing touch to a beautiful friendship. That’s starting the year with a clean sweep.
