Enjoy the Oasis and Celebrate!

Mayorgate's ambassadors of celebration 

Another year is drawing to a close and although it is a time for celebration, 2012 ends with a horrific sorrow. No one in any part of the world can ignore the pain of tragic loss which the community of Newton, Connecticut has to endure. One word remains thick in the air and no answers are available to satisfy or relieve its agony.

We have been reminded the essence of celebration is not the sale at the mall or the weight of our wallet, rather it is the value of our self-worth, our family and friends.

The cheeky monkeys of Mayorgate symbolize an inherent curiosity and playful honesty often lost in maturity. Through 2012 Mayorgate has dealt with serious issues affecting our environment, our society and our future. Still there was time taken to celebrate the very nature of life.

Today, regardless of race, religion or tradition, is a day to be with family, to gather your friends or simply extend the hand of greeting to a stranger. Think of it as an oasis that has opened up in the midst of all the trials and tribulations of daily life. Stop, relax and put the oven on low as no one really wants take-out as a feast, and enjoy.

A very Merry Christmas to you all and I don't think the red dude minds if Mayorgate's monkeys borrowed a part of his wardrobe.

Merry Christmas Everybody!
