Santa Claus will arrive by fire truck to the Watson Community Building at 1:00 p.m. December 15. Be sure to bring your list.

The Watson Quilters called off quilting Thursday night due to sickness and icy pavement. But don’t forget, next week is our Christmas party. Ugly sweater contest, a prize for the best one, or ugliest one. Good food, and good wholesome fun.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Twas the night

before Christmas

And all through the house.

Not a creature was stirring,

’Cept me and my mouse.

I was sending holiday wishes

To my friends far and near.

Just wanted their Christmas

To be full of cheer.

I have good friends in Alaska

Where it’s 40 below.

I have good friends in Florida

Where they get no snow.

I have friends in Tennessee

And in Texas, too.

They are friends

from the army.

A chance to renew.

But I cannot forget

Those who’ve read me a while

Merry Christmas to all,

Hope I gave you a smile.
