Hello again my fellow Pointe-Claire Citizens!

Last month I started my monthly column for the Pointe-Claire Record, poking a little fun and satire about life in our wonderful city. I thank you for all your wonderful comments and support. You all Jingle Bell Rock!

Now that the Holiday Season approaches, I thought it would be a nice idea to take you on a special Christmas sleigh ride! So, let’s sing along together to a holiday classic (with a “Babble Twist” of course).

On the first day of Christmas, Mayor Santa gave to me some silver and gold chocolate coins.
On the second day of Christmas, Rudolph gave to me, shiny lights along the Village streets.
On the third day of Christmas, City Councillors did concede, with a line dance around the Christmas tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas, Frosty gave to me, a new windmill — but perhaps it simply was a dream.
On the fifth day of Christmas, church bells all rang to the tune of “Do You Hear What I Hear.”
On the sixth day of Christmas, the “Little Drummer Boy” kicked in — with perfect percussion on the skins.
On the seventh day of Christmas, scents of roasted chestnuts filled the air (yummy!).
On the eighth day of Christmas, maids a-milking put eggnog in their tea.
On the ninth day of Christmas, cars detoured around construction zones

On the tenth day of Christmas, power outages kicked in. 

On the eleventh day of Christmas, Hark! The herald angels came to sing.
On the twelfth day of Christmas, the holidays came to an end.

And “Jingle Bells” switched to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne!”

Wishing you all a very happy, healthy, prosperous, and loving holiday season

May you, your families, friends, and beloved pets (hamsters included) be well-loved, happy, and healthy!

Bonnie’s Babble will return next year!
Much love (and silliness)!

Bottom line (literally)… I LOVE living in Pointe-Claire!
