To the seasons of life
The reason for the season is near.
That friend with ski gear…
The mother with a no sneer…
Or you my dear, to be so clear!
That we hold you all in our mirror.
As our force of life.
That which will last to our last.
Together and sincere a blast of fresh air.
Now and in the calendar again.
From which we will never refrain!

Merritt is a very active place here after November 27th the countdown to Christmas starts then and a parade and midnight madness event starts it off. The local FM station has contests for home town shopping, and merchants try to establish their business success for the next year around the season. The local library is offering a 1000 dollars in a contest that ends on November 26th. The efforts that go into Christmas here are exceptional and sometimes quite heart warming.
The digital money company swag bucks are offering a Christmas preview sale for online shopping that ends on November 26th 20% off and 8 swag bucks ( 8 cents or eight percent) for every dollar spent on-line at Macy’s. The good will of the season is out there and is a significant value even for those involved in Christmas selling.
Q 101 is offering a draw for 1500 dollars in a home town shopping spree, ending December 9th..
The scenery can be very homey with snow-covered hills and a hush of the past looking to a new year.
