I just wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas, and I hope you get to spend lots of time with family and friends over the next few days.

I also wanted to say an extra big thank you to all the sponsors who donated packages and especially to those who bid on them. We raised $55,250.00 for charities during my "Helping Others" shows this month.

That is awesome. Thank you so very much.

Also a big shout out to Jared and Jim. Back on Dec 1st I wrote that I would donate $1,000 to kick of the campaign, and on Friday Jared showed up at the Pint off Whyte and handed me a cheque for $1,000 for the Christmas Bureau.

On Thursday Jim donated some tickets to auction off and then he wrote a cheque for $2,500 to the Christmas Bureau.

Truly heartwarming stuff.

It was wonderful to see so many step up and make bids on the items, and also those of you who made donations on line and via text. I couldn’t tract the the on-line or text donations, but thank you if you made one.

Thanks for reading the Nation and listening to my show, I truly appreciate.

Oh and Go Canada Go starting Monday.
