Foothills Market:  Market Reminder


Foothills Market is open for another hour and a half. Remember that this is the last market until after Christmas. We still have fresh vegetables, including leaf lettuce and salad mix from the aquaponics house.

Looking for a Christmas gift? How about some local honey or sorghum or an assortment of homemade jams? Or maybe you know someone who would appreciate a gift certificate for fresh, local produce throughout the new year. Send us an email with the name of the recipient and a dollar amount, and we will make up a certificate for you to pick up tomorrow.

Champaign, OH:  Christmas Wrapping


Bah! Humbug!
Now that’s too strong
‘Cause it is my favorite holiday
But all this year’s been a busy blur
Don’t think I have the energy
To add to my already mad rush
Just ‘cause it’s ’tis the season
The perfect gift for me would be
Completions and connections left from last year
Ski shop encounter most interesting
Had his number but never the time
Most of ’81 passed along those lines
So deck those halls
Trim those trees
Raise up cups of Christmas cheer
I just need to catch my breath
Christmas by myself this year

Calendar picture, frozen landscape
Chill this room for 24 days
Evergreens, sparkling snow
Get this winter over with!
Flash back to spring time, saw him again
Would have been good to go for lunch
Couldn’t agree when we were both free
We tried, we said we’d keep in touch
Didn’t of course, ’til summertime
Out to the beach, to his boat, could I join him?

No, this time it was me
Sunburn in the third degree
Now the calendar’s just one page
Of course I am excited
Tonight’s the night I’ve set my mind
Not to do too much about it

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
But I think I’ll miss this one this year

Hardly dashing through the snow
‘Cause I bundled up too tight
Last minute have-to-dos
A few cards, a few calls
Because it’s RSVP
No, thanks, no party lights
It’s Christmas Eve, gonna relax
Turned down all of my invites
Last fall I had a night to myself
Same guy called; Halloween party
Waited all night for him to show
This time his car wouldn’t go
Forget it, it’s cold, it’s getting late
Trudge on home to celebrate
In a quiet way, unwind
Doing Christmas right this time

A&P has provided me
With the world’s smallest turkey
Already in the oven, nice and hot
Oh damn!
Guess what I forgot
So on with the boots
Back out in the snow
To the only all night grocery
When what to my wondering eyes should appear
In the line it’s that guy I’ve been chasing all year
“Spendin’ this one alone,” he said
“Gimme a break, this year’s been crazy”
I said, “Me too, but why are you
You mean, you forgot cranberries too?”
Then suddenly we laughed and laughed
Caught on to what was happening
That Christmas magic’s brought this tale
To a very happy ending

Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas
Couldn’t miss this one this year
Merry Christmas, merry Christmas…

(The Waitresses/Songwriter-Chris Butler)

Here you go…one of my favorite Christmas tunes! Go ahead, turn it up, dance around, and get all Christmas groovy!!

This tune will always remind me of college finals, the 80s, rushing home to my Christmas mall job at Casual Corner, and then rushing out to bars and pubs to reconnect with all of my friends, also in town, clamoring for a reunion since we had been separated by different colleges/jobs/towns.

Anyway…while I relive the magic of the 80s, you can get your orders in, this morning, before we close up for the week!

You have until 8am…get your Christmas Wrapping groove on…

XOXO,
Pam
