We toasted Canada and our various snowed-in airports.
 
Jim McPherson said we had 17 of our finest present and two guests , Pat Templeton, guest of Erica, and Anne Marie's chief dish and bottle washer, her husband Steve Belargeon. Tom Everett, looking in good shape, joined us on Zoom. Todd had his own special guest at the front. The music stand which he kept conversing with and knocking over.

Urgently wanted, someone who looks good in red and can drive a sleigh with 8 Reindeer.  Wig, socks and bottoms provided.
Good news
The Langs Christmas dinner was mentioned and was the sale of  Gift Cards that raise money for the Neighbourhood Ass'ns.
 
Tom Everett said that he was feeling well post myocardial blockage and a stenting procedure at St Marys. Doctors are so taken with Tom that they want him back for another stent in late January. Tom thanked us for our encouragement.
 
Rena said her mother's partner's grandchild had a serious case of meningitis.  He is now recovering but full recovery will take a while.
 
Jim McPherson said he is going to Nashville.  Also Mennonite Furniture built some furniture for his son.( Probably not built by J. Bonus himself as I have seen what he can do with a hammer and 2x4s)
Today's Program
 And now on to the good stuff.
Murray Pearson led us in some Carolling. Being musically challenged, we made sure the doors were closed.
We did the 12 days of Christmas and let me say it shall not be repeated.
It was scintillating. Heidi and Paul M were right into 5 Gold Rings. Johnny J and Jim M. acted the part of Six Sheep a- laying. Udderly fantastic and illegal in 17 states. And More.
 
And then, on to the the presents.  There were 19 gifts and Jim M. started in the #1 position. There was a variety of gift thievery, all  part of the game. Most stolen were a LEGO set and a Summer Sausage. ( Don't put the summer sausage under the tree if you have a dog in the house)
 
And that was it. Thanks Murray. Thanks Todd. Thanks Music Stand.
Safe journey to Erica and Jim and all others travelling.
Enjoy the Festive Season and see ya next year for the Financial Predictions.
