On December 15, we asked our email list and social media followers to send us a holiday message.
We had over 1200 messages, and more than half gave us permission to post their message.
Here are a few that caught our eye:
Deck my halls with Yoga Jeans,
Fa la la la la la la la la
They're the hottest pants that you've ever seen
Fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our Canadian apparel
Fa la la la la la la la la
And head out to sing Christmas carols
Fa la la la la la la la la

'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
Katrina was writing her clothing wish list with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The adults were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of plum clothing danced in their heads;
And Katrina in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just gathered up their presents to wrap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a pair of new pants perfect for my pear shaped rear,
I undressed right there so lively and quick,
I knew who they were from, my good friend St. Nick.
I pulled them on heard some hooting and even a whistle,
I turned around and saw St.Nick fly like the down of a thistle.
I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
"hope you like your pants, cause they fit you just right!"
Merry Christmas to all and to all a happy new year too!

Christmas is the season for giving, for sharing. Preparing gift baskets filled with treats homemade with loving care. Filling up the birdfeeder and putting out carrot tops for the wild rabbits. And random acts of kindness that make someone's day and put a smile on their face.
