\"\"The Salvation Army<\/a> Kettle Campaign<\/a> begins today.<\/p>\n

\"\"Kettles will be out in Chatham today, Blenheim next Wednesday and Wallaceburg on the 26th.<\/p>\n

Volunteers are still needed to man the kettles. Without a volunteer, the kettles can’t be out and no money can be made. The goal this season is $500,000 – and all of that will stay local.<\/p>\n

Toy Hamper registration is still open, contact the Salvation Army at 519-354-8353.<\/p>\n

\"\"Visits such as vacations, day trips and cross-border shopping excursions have been forbidden since March in an effort to limit the spread of the novel coronavirus. The travel ban does not apply to those who must cross to ensure the continued flow of goods and essential services, including truckers and hospital staff.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said the ban won\u2019t be eased until there is clear evidence the COVID-19 pandemic is slowing in the United States, which is it is clearly not.<\/p>\n

\"\"Netflix<\/a> is ruining a Christmas tradition!<\/p>\n

\"\"Netflix ditched holiday tunes as the soundtrack for its popular holiday video, \u201cFireplace for your Home,\u201d which replicates a crackling yule log on the TV screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new Fireplace for Your Home music is, in a word, terrible. It\u2019s like something you would hear in an orthodontist\u2019s office waiting room,\u201d a blogger wrote.<\/p>\n

Netflix made the switch because of a music rights issue.<\/p>\n

Life hack for you, there’s a free one on YouTube, with no music whatsoever.
