********************** Greetings from Ottawa

Hello Dad (Tom) and Debbie,

What a great idea you had for me to post a message on the Internet for all to see.

Now everyone in Sault Ste Marie can see what a truly, beautiful daughter you have.

I think I will write my greeting as a nice little poem: Ottawa is great at this time of year I work at a bar and serve people beer Around Christmas time, if not for me Lots of people in town would be very lonely Alas, at this time alone in the city I miss Sault Ste. Marie, what a shame...what a pity On this eve of eve's I sit on my couch I look at the snow, try not to be a grouch In Ottawa now, no buses run The weather is cloudy there is no sun Outside on the streets the traffic is thick If you need to get to the mall it won't be so quick Station and Cambrian the malls in the Sault Thinking of them now makes me say boohoo So Happy Christmas to you, be thankful my friends You all have each other, and I am nearing the end The end of this poem, so sad and so sweet It is time to get moving I can't feel my feet So once again Merry Christmas from Ottawa to you I miss you all very much at home in the Sault.

Merry Christmas Dad, Debbie, Thomas, Willy, Mom, aunts and uncles, grannies and friends

Love Maddie!
