Giving thanks. That’s what this time of year is all about. Thanks for the special people in our lives, those we can count on no matter what. Those who always bring a smile and cheer to our days. And thanks for the music we all enjoy on WMHT. Wreaths for Radio is our annual opportunity to help you usher in the holidays and celebrate all that is good and right about this time of year.
