Ladies and Gentlemen
T’was the week before Christmas
And all through the Town
Folks rushed to get ready
With n’ary a frown
The snow was fresh fallen
And our merchants rejoiced
Christmas lights were aplenty
Hear Serenata carols, sweet voiced
So many packages and toys
And presents for all
Needed Wye Marsh gift wrapping at MCC
And Huronia Mall
At this time of year
There’s no time for delay
Wrapping’s from 10 am to 4 pm
Takes place every day
The
Week Ahead
On Tuesday our Trillium Sea Cadets proud
Deliver their salute to Christmas
(Perhaps a bit loud)
At their festive Christmas dinner
A sight to be seen
That’s 6:30 at the Legion
Penetanguishene
While at 5:00 pm
Knox Presbyterian will be your host
To “Messy Church - A Night in Bethlehem”
For which they can boast
That the whole family’s invited
From the kids through to dad
A wholesome family gathering
And a meal’s to be had
Wednesday the 21st
Features more Christmas feasting
Georgian Bay Native Friendship Centre
Gives you warm season’s greetings
To join in their tradition of
Feeding their guests
Serving from noon until 6:00
A heartfelt Christmas repast
At 7:00 pm it’s time for more fun
As GMA Players
Present their Christmas plum
It’s a play, not a pudding
At Shop Midland they say
Know it’s an adult production
So keep the children away
On Friday the 23rd
Let’s break into song
You are invited by Connexus chuch
Bring the children along
MCC at 7:00 pm
And don’t forget mom
Tickets are free

Week -
End
Saturday December 24
The 24th
is tingling
With expectations
galore
One more sleep and
its over
Who knows what’s in
store
Sunday December 25
And now it is
Christmas
The day we await
When we all come
together
In goodwill to
celebrate
With family and
friends
The yule tree we
surround
To reflect on our
gifts
And human love, quite
profound
Council
Issues Update
The cares of 2016
Are quick put away
Forget the OPP costing
The Midland Bay Landing delay
Finding funds for the hospital
Or budget shortfalls
Lose their importance
When we believe “Good will to all”
The
Town Hall hunkers down
For
a well-deserved rest
Municipal
offices close the 24th
Opening
Jan 3rd at best
So to each and every
one of you
At this time of year
Rejoice in all the
good things
That you hold dear
Your wife, your
husband
Your children and
friends
Living in Canada
Even the snow that
never ends
Take time for
yourself
And hear the spirit
that guides us
I wish you good
cheer
And the very best Christmas
