Good morning! This time of year, when you're out and about in the shops and stores searching for the perfect holiday gifts, you'll pretty much hear Christmas music playing everywhere. Some of you will tune it out, some won't like it, but when the voices of crooners like Nat King Cole, Andy Williams, Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, to name just a few, meander through the noise and bustle to find your ears, you just might find yourself actually enjoying it. And on this day in 1915 The Chairman of the Board, Ol' Blue Eyes himself. was born. Just a little fun fact to kick off your day!

The next thing to inform you of is that Pepper's is once again sponsoring a family in need this Christmas. The family is a mother with three daughters aged 4 years, 6 years and an 18 month old. If you would like to contribute a cash donation towards helping to make this family's holiday a special one, please tell your cashier and it can be added to your bill. All other donations can be brought to the store and given to any staff member. Thank you to all who give generously to those who genuinely need it!
Alright, let's talk turkey! Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe help to make the season bright. Our Meat Department can't help with the mistletoe, but they sure can contribute with the turkeys! You can order one right up until December 21st but remember that sizes cannot always be guaranteed. Our staff work very hard to ensure that you get the bird that you want for the holidays but sometimes it's just not possible so we thank you in advance for your understanding.
