'May your troubles last as long as most New Year's resolutions'

The following message from loyal readers living in Barrie is one of many special greetings that SooToday.com will be publishing over the holidays.

Thank you again for giving us a chance to connect with home!

Christmas continues to be extra special for the Cupello family because so many of us are here together.

Since my brother Memmo and my sister Pina (former Saultites) and their families have moved to Barrie, all holidays and birthdays are better!

But what always tops off every family celebration nicely, is a visit from Nonna Cupello from Sault Ste.Marie.

We love her long visits and getting spoiled with her wonderful cooking!

Although we have moved away, we never forget.

Stories and memories of the Soo are a traditional part of nearly every family function.

We miss the family and friends who could not be with us, and wish everyone of them a wonderful holiday season.

May their hearts be filled with joy, and their troubles last as long as most New Year's resolutions.

Season's Greetings,

Ben, Anita, Sophia, Alessia and Nonna Cupello
