Did you see that the Blue Hill Ski Area has been making artificial snow? It appears we can now get out our ski equipment and start the season right here in our backyard.

The Canton Planning Board will hold a public hearing on Wednesday, January 6, at 7:30 p.m. on a petition seeking special permit approval by the Pine Street Realty Trust, Anthony Will, for a flexible development residential plan to construct a 39-lot subdivision to be called Stillwater Estates on property located off Indian Lane and Tucker Drive to the northeast and Industrial Drive to the southwest.

Like many years in the past, you probably will see at least one copy of the letter that 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon wrote to the editor of the New York Sun in 1897 questioning whether or not Santa Claus really exists.

FYI: The Canton Food Pantry distributed175 turkeys, 750 pounds of potatoes, 530 pounds of squash, 250 pounds of onions, 200 pounds of sweet potatoes, countless cans of vegetables, 175 boxes of stuffing, 130 pies and 175 bottles of cider. According to food pantry co-director Mary Ellen Hudner, there was “plenty of food” for everyone.
As we struggle with shopping lists and invitations, compounded by December’s bad weather, it is good to be reminded that there are people in our lives who are worth this aggravation and people to whom we are worth the same.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
This is all for now folks; see you next week.
