December is known around the world as a family time of

celebration honoring cultures religions and traditions

that have been with humanity for hundreds of years We

all may celebrate differently but we have one thing in

common getting together with those we love to share a

meal and create wonderful memories December is the

busiest month of the year filled with shopping decorating

and cooking December 21st is the official start of winter

but winter doesnrsquot necessarily wait till then to make an

appearance Did you know that an almanac prediction

states that if snow falls on Christmas Day Easter will be

warm green and sunny Also it is considered good luck

if you have spiders or find a spider web on Christmas

The month ends on a reflective note with New Yearrsquos Eve

where we celebrate look back on the year and make

resolutions for the year ahead

Wednesday December 2

Social Security Award Letters will be mailed to you sometime in December Please keep them in a safe place with all your important papers We suggest that you come to the office and an office employee can make a copy of it so when you need it for your recertification you will be prepared

Once again ldquoSiena Samrdquo has been sent to Siena to

report back to Santa Claus how the residents of Siena

are behaving and whether they should they be on the

ldquonaughtyrdquo or ldquonicerdquo list

Based on a book by Carol Aebersold and her daughter

Chanda Bell the story describes how Santas scout

elves hide in peoples homes to watch over events

Once everyone goes to bed the scout elf flies back

to the North Pole to report to Santa the activities

good and bad that have taken place throughout the day

Before the family wakes up each morning the scout elf

flies back from the North Pole and hides By hiding in a

new spot each morning around the house the scout elf

and the family play an on-going game of hide and seek

Here at Siena Sam can be found in a new spot every

week day beginning

December 14th through December 22nd

If you are the lucky resident to find Sam take the ticket he

is carrying and leave Sam in his spot Bring the ticket to

the offices located in the basement of Building 1 and

receive your surprise

We are limiting prizes to one per resident to increase

participation So once you have ldquodiscoveredrdquo Siena Sam and

turned the ticket in to the office staff we ask that you refrain from

further claims so that your friends and neighbors can continue the

fun

Good luck and keep searching (and being good)
