The holiday season’s been up and down for Ann Arbor’s Salvation Army. With a goal of $180,000, the bell ringers were down $2,000 the day before Thanksgiving, then up $800 the day after, down a week later by $1,400, then up the next day by $1,700 after donors slipped several very large checks into the Army’s bright red kettles.
