 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, December 14, 2005  VOL. IV Issue 12H McDonalds Has the Christmas Spirit It is Reported that McDonald's corporate office in Atlanta is standing behind a franchise owner in Raleigh, North Carolina, who has put a sign in front of her restaurant which reads: "Merry Christmas: Jesus is the Reason for the Season." While no drivers interviewed by WRAL TV were offended by the display, the station was able to find one woman who complained about the sign, saying it offended her. "... I'm Jewish, and the reason for the season is upsetting to me," she told the station. The woman wanted the sign changed to "Happy Holidays." But according to the report, McDonald's officials said the owner has the right to do what she wants with the sign. Aberdeen- A Heavenly Place to Shop Harold and Mary met the rest of their shopping party at the Nickelson place at 9:30 this morning. It is common knowledge that their destination, Aberdeen, South Dakota, is a veritable shopping Mecca. They also have a living Christmas tree that Agnes Hahn loves to see every year. It was not known if this shopping trip was going to get off the ground because Heaven might be frozen over. But with only a light dusting of snow and moderate winds, they decided to chance it. They did leave a half hour earlier that their original 10 am departure time. Hopefully that means they will be home a half hour earlier as well. Harold told his son, Jerry Hinkle, that they went to Steak and Buffet. He didn't get the violent reaction he expected from Jerry. This is in part because Jerry had a buffet of his own, eating 28 oz. Of a 2 lb. Turkey roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. He did put in his usual request for snickerdoodles. Maybe just one. Farewell to Ferris Joyce Ferris called the Ponderosa this morning to let her big brother, Harold Hinkle know that she and her husband Ken Ferris are heading to Arizona for Christmas. This year both of her children and their families will be together for Christmas. It's not known how long the relatives will stay, but Joyce and Ken are not planning to come back until April. If their Ember Gold Mine strikes it rich, they may not be back at all.
