'Twas Silent In The Peak!

One of my favorite parts of each year is driving home through downtown once the lights adorn our streetlamps. It's always magical! It's hard to believe another year is about to turn the page towards a new set of chapters. As we close this year, allow me to reflect on December 2025~

"Twas the night before Christmas when all through the peak, not a creature was stirring.

Well, not that you'd see. Our local first responders keep the peak and surrounding communities have the same agencies full of individuals that are awake a night, who work through the holidays to keep us safe, nestled all snug in our beds.

An Apex officer took this photo late one night, just before Christmas when all was quiet in the peak.

For me, the delight of the holiday season is the magic of giving.

Our community is full of heart.

We hope you stopped by all 7 of our favorite Apex destinations this season.

Thank you for supporting Small Business Saturday; together we raised money for the Apex Farmer's Market fund. Our stockings were neatly hung on the Halle Wreath with care in hopes that bidders soon would be there.

Bidder came. bid and the winning bid and together, we were able to "Play It Forward."

The Snow Stroll Store created local hometown joy this season and delighted our team when children searched for our mini Santa.

As adults, our team had fun on our socials sharing good cheer with our mugs and ornaments around town.

The parade is always a blast. Watch a recap on WRAL's streaming channel here.

As our team heads home for the holidays, and a long winter's nap, you'll hear me exclaim, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!"

Thank you for supporting our company!

Happy New Year, 2026!
