Mr. Speaker, Christmas is a time for giving, and a time for families to join together to celebrate the birth of Christ.
The Vechhios will be very busy while our children are travelling home to St. Thomas.
Christmas Eve will be a night filled with oliebollen prepared by Pops, as Nana scurries around for hors d'oeuvres.
Many families will be at the First United Church for the candlelight service at 10 p.m.
It will be Reverend Roger Landell's last Christmas service.
On Christmas Day, the Martyn family will be busy with everyone looking for space to lay their heads for our traditional Christmas Day nap following our turkey dinner.
I know how lucky I am. However, it is important to think about those who are less fortunate.
Let us work together to give everyone a merry Christmas. Please support one of our Salvation Army kettle drives or help serve dinner at one of the local missions. Make Christmas great for everyone.
My family wishes everyone and their family a very merry Christmas and a healthy and prosperous new year.
