“‘Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!’ And Happy Holidays too,” so say the staff of the Unity-Wilkie Press-Herald. The offices in both Unity and Wilkie will be closed from December 24 to January 2nd, 2014. After Monday’s paper, the next paper will not come out until January 6th, 2014.

In the December 23rd issue, you can expect to see:

• people sharing Christmas memories;
• greetings from friends and neighbours who own or work at local businesses;
• a children’s story and colouring pages;
• a story on a Swedish farm trainee from the 1970s who returned to Unity for a visit earlier this fall; and
• just for a change of pace, some thoughts on buying lottery tickets.
