On Friday night’s Downtown Shopping Party in Greater Napanee, I had the chance to pop into several local businesses with Christmas cards — and to make a special stop at A Loveleigh Place. 🎄

This afternoon I had the pleasure of delivering Christmas cards to residents in our long-term care homes in Napanee. 🎄✨

It was wonderful to spend time visiting with residents, chatting with volunteers, and thanking the dedicated team members who care for them every day.

My holiday blessing from the legislature today.

Wrapped up the evening in Marmora with a beautiful Christmas parade. 🎄✨
The floats were glowing, the kids were smiling, and the whole town felt like a Christmas card come to life.

There’s just something special about the Christmas parade in Madoc.

Today’s parade had all the magic — Christmas lights, neighbours calling out to one another, and candy canes for days! These are the moments that make small towns so special.

Few things say “Christmas spirit” like a home that makes the whole neighbourhood smile. Every year, Cory Wease puts incredible thought and care into his lawn display — adding new touches, planning out the details, and creating something that kids (and kids-at-heart) look forward to.

Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen — the organizers, volunteers, first responders, parade participants, and all the families who came out to line the streets. The holiday spirit was alive and well in Stirling–Rawdon tonight. ❤️

A fantastic night in Stirling–Rawdon at the Christmas parade. 🎄 The cold didn’t kill us, and I had some fantastic elves with me to hand out candy canes.

Yesterday, I rose in the Legislature to ask the government to explore expanding the Constable Joe MacDonald Public Safety Officers’ Survivors Scholarship Fund to include families of first responders who lose their lives to duty-related cancers.

Thrilled to present a Holiday Spirit Award to Coffee Cravings for their beloved outdoor nativity display. For so many people in Napanee, the holiday season officially begins the moment that nativity goes up — it’s become a true community landmark.

Happy to celebrate Spuds Restaurant in Greater Napanee with a Holiday Spirit Award! 🎄

Spuds stepped up in a big way today by hosting a toy and food drive for local families, bringing our community together to support our neighbours this holiday season.

When you shop local, you're not just buying a gift; you're investing in your community's growth and sustainability.

Great to catch up with Rob Adams, CEO of the Eastern Ontario YMCA, as YMCA leaders from across the province gathered at Queen’s Park today.

A great afternoon at the Tamworth Santa Parade! ❄️🎅

Thanks to all the volunteers, families, and community groups who helped make it such a fun kickoff to the season. Always wonderful to see the streets filled with smiles and holiday spirit.

Pleased to take in Loyalist Light Up the Season last night. It was a beautiful evening surrounded by friends! Thank you to everyone who made this happen.
