happy holidays
With the season a-glowing and year almost through,
We are gladder than glad that we’re working with you.
What a joy, what a treat, what a partner you are—
Turning “could we?” to “YES!” (and raising the bar!).
May your holidays sparkle with laughter and cheer,
With good meals, good moments, and those you hold dear.
We’ve made a donation in honour of you
To Ronald McDonald House Canada, too.
With Geneviève Godbout, an artist renowned,
We captured the gems of our travels around.
Oh, the places in Canada you can explore—
May this card serve to help you fling open your door!

Maude's Gem:
Long walks, anywhere
Come along, join the squad, as we close out the year
Who am I? Oh, I'm Maude, and I’m thrilled to be here.
Let's go for a walk in the forest or snow,
You just say the word, and away we will go.
Kelly's Gem:
High Tea at the Empress
We are classy, we’re cultured, we’re starting off strong
With High Tea at the Empress, you cannot go wrong.
Have a crumpet, a pastry, a teapot or two—
Eat your fill, and delight, there is so much to do!
Stephen's Gem:
Snowking Winter Festival
Then we’re off, on our way, to a castle of snow.
There is music and art, in this magical show!
It’s a wintery wonderland, with fantastical sights.
If you’re lucky, you might spot the Northern lights!
Brittany's Gem:
Driving the Yukon's Golden Circle Loop
We are staying up North and there’s no time to waste!
Off we go to Alaska and we’re back in due haste,
In a car, in a boat, in a plane, on your feet—
Oh, the fun we will have in this Northern retreat.
Colin's Gem:
Home, Sweet Orangeville
While the rest of the team likes to go off and roam,
Colin's happiest when he stays put close to home.
There are trails, and restaurants, and sights to behold
With his wife, and his pup, and his sweet Marigold.
Segun's Gem:
Ottawa's Mer Bleue Bog
Now down, down we go for a hike on Mer Bleue
To find trails upon trails for the kids and dogs, too.
In the cold, slip on skis, you can glide on the snow.
Oh, the birds you will see—oh, the places you'll go!
Suzanne's Gem:
Making Maple Syrup
Let’s go tap a big tree, for some sap that is sweet
And then, boil for hours with coals for the heat.
We will strain this concoction and simmer it down—
There you have it: fresh syrup, to add to your Crown.
