Hi everyone. I hope that this issue finds everyone healthy, happy and ready to take on 2015. I’m not sure if anyone else felt it, but it this year did not seem as true to Christmas as it would have with snow. Yes the gatherings, the food, the music and decorations were the same, but the green grass and rain didn’t make it seem like it was really Christmas time. Perhaps by New Year’s Eve we will have a little more of the white stuff to make it seem true to the season.
Santa made his annual tour through Springwater Township on Christmas Eve and we have the Springwater Fire Department to thank for that. They ensured that Santa got to see all of the excited children, and adults too, waving and calling out to him their last minute wishes. It’s always such a nice tradition that they do this. It’s not something I have heard that they do in many areas so we are lucky that we can experience this each year.
I don’t have much else for news in this issue but I always encourage those in our community to send me an email if you have an event, birthday, anniversary or any other message you would like our community to know about. You can send it to lorachalli@sympatico.ca and I will do my best to get it in the next issue.
Until next time, I wish you each health and happiness for the New Year. Take care.
