Remember your Christmas
waking' on Christmas
Day o the smell of turkey roasting in
the oven, hitching up Bud to the sleigh
and ;heading across the concession
load to Grandmother's house?
Remember heading out the the bush
with father to find the straightest pine
tree and the days when presents were
few and far between?'

concert, or listening to mother as she

Memories of Christmas past are
special to everyone and this year the
stuck in
the middle
My feet still hurt, my stomach's
*still aching and my wallet's now
feeling the effects of deficit
financing.
So much for a weekend in the big
city, it's a nice place to visit, but
I'm glad to be back in little ole'
Clinton. .
Now don't get me wrong', I think
Toronto's a great place and I love
visiting my old stomping grounds
from my college days. Yet
sdmewhere along the line, I've
become de -urbanized. I no longer
have those 18 -year-old urges to get
out of boring Huron County and
experience the city lights, nights
and sounds.
Somehow, maturity and con-
tentment has snuck up on me and
I'm quite happy to live the
relatively quiet life that small
towns offer.
But I haven't completely. lost my
urban touch. I can still rhyme off
all the subway stops from one end
of Toronto to the other and I can
still hod it from one store to
another for an entire afternoon.I
can still tolerate the crowds and
pass by the &Yonge Street "ecen-
trics" without a bat of the eye. I
still have enough patience to stand
in line for half -an -hour outside the
theatre. and wait until 9 pm to eat,
(that's the prime time for dining
�t in Toronto.)

'But unlike my earlier days, some
of my ideas have changed. Now I
can appreciate leisurely evening
strolls ale g Clinton's quiet streets.
Clinton ' ay not have all the
variety of hops and merchandise
that the -Ea on's Centre offers, but.
now I realize that I couldn't afford
to buy my" wardrobe at Holt
Renfrew or fill my fridge with
Denniger's imported foods.
I am not be able to see all my
favorite musicians in Clinton, but
what the heck, it's almost im=
possible to buy a concert ticket in
Toronto anyway, unless you have
the bucks to pay those scalpers'
prices. And unless you're willing to
join in the block -long line-ups,
there's not much point trying to see
the newst box office hit at the
theatre. I'd as soon. wait till it
comes to Brownie's Drive In.
And despite it's size and
cosmopolitan flavor, Toronto too
can be a lonely city, just as Clinton
can be to a newcomer.
Toronto, Clinton, Montreal or
Summerhill, it . dosen't really
matt% where you Nye, for in a
municipality with a population of
two million or 200 it takes some
effort to become part of the
community. It's the—people know
and the friends you have that make
any place your home and Huron
County's mine!
