🎄✨ Christmas Message from Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation Chief & Council ✨🎄

On behalf of Muscowpetung Chief and Council, we would like to wish all our members a Merry Christmas and a peaceful holiday season.

As we gather with our loved ones, we also hold space in our hearts for those who are grieving. This past week, our community has experienced the loss of three cherished members. We ask everyone to please keep their families and loved ones in your prayers during this incredibly difficult time.

From our families to yours, we wish you safe, warm, and meaningful holidays.

🎄 Thank You, Muscowpetung — From the Bottom of Our Hearts 🎄

To every family, parent, youth, kokum, mosom, auntie, uncle, and cousin who took part in our 12 Days of Christmas - thank you. ❤️

Our intention with this initiative was simple: to get families busy over the holidays, to spark laughter in our homes, and to create moments where families could slow down, have fun together, and strengthen their bonds. What we witnessed went far beyond that.

Over these 12 days, we saw families gathering around kitchen tables, parents creating alongside their children, laughter filling living rooms, and memories being made in real time. We saw stories shared, loved ones remembered, and traditions - both old and new - coming to life. Some challenges brought out creativity, others brought humour, and many brought emotion, reminding us that the holidays are about connection, not perfection.

We saw homes open in spirit through welcoming doorways, families honouring those who are no longer with us, and youth proudly showing their work with smiles that said, “we did this together.” These challenges created space for togetherness - moments where phones were set down, hands were busy, and hearts were full. In a world that moves fast, you all chose to slow down and show up for one another.

Through photos and submissions, we felt a sense of community that reached far beyond geography. On-reserve, off-reserve, urban, and rural - families connected, encouraged one another, and celebrated each other’s efforts. For many, this was more than a contest; it was time spent, bonds strengthened, and memories that will last long after the decorations are put away.

We hope you enjoyed the challenges, the creativity, the surprises, and our seasonal greetings as much as we enjoyed seeing your photos, stories, and family moments shared with us.

✨ Our Final Winners of the 12 Days of Christmas:
🎉 Justin Pratt
🎉 Glenda Weasel
🎉 Shayanne Arndt

👏 Congratulations to you all!

🎁 One More Surprise!
Tomorrow, we will be hosting one final GRAND PRIZE draw for one lucky family who participated in all 12 days of Christmas. Be sure to watch for our special Christmas Day post at 3:00 PM MST.

🎄 Merry Christmas Eve to all members of Muscowpetung Saulteaux Nation 🎄
We wish you health, happiness, and a successful 2026.

On behalf of our entire team at MSBD Ltd., thank you for playing along, sharing your joy, and helping make this our most connected holiday season yet. We’ll see you next year - with even greater Christmas cheer.

🎄 12 Days of Christmas – Day 12 FINAL CHALLENGE 🎄

We made it, Muscowpetung! 🙌 What started as a fun idea turned into 12 straight days of laughter, creativity, and community - and honestly… you all understood the assignment every single day.

We’ve seen it ALL:
🎄 Tree toppers that deserved their own museum (and yes… even a skunk on a tree 👀)
🚪 Doorways so welcoming you could feel the hospitality through the screen
🖍️ Crafts, décor, and creativity that had us saying “who’s your mom?”
📸 Smiles, memories, and moments that reminded us why community matters

You showed us talent, humour, love, and that unmistakable Muscowpetung spirit - some of you even winning more than once (that’s what happens when you show up every day 😉).

✨ TODAY IS OUR FINAL CHALLENGE — DAY 12 ✨

Today is all about FAMILY. ❤️

Submit a photo of your entire family - from the past or the present. It does not need to be Christmas-themed. It can be from any gathering that means something to you.

Share a moment that matters. Tell us who your special people are. These are the faces that raised us, walk beside us, and continue to carry our stories forward.

This is our final challenge, and we want to say thank you to every family, every participant, every laugh, and every submission that made our 1st Annual 12 Days of Christmas such a success.

Let’s end this the best way possible - together.

🎄 Merry Christmas, Muscowpetung 🎄

🎄 12 Days of Christmas – Day 11 Winners Announcement! 🎄

Tonight’s challenge was Door Decorations, and wow - we truly felt the warmth this evening. From beautifully decorated entrances to creative, welcoming doorways, you reminded us that a warm door is more than décor… it’s an invitation of love, laughter, and togetherness during the holiday season.

Thank you to everyone who submitted - the creativity and care put into each doorway did not go unnoticed.

✨ Tonight’s Winners:
🎉 Jacob James Sager - PS5 WINNER! 🎮🔥
🎉 Diana Power
🎉 Hayden Ganje

An evening of Urban Membership wins - congratulations to you all! 👏

Tomorrow is our FINAL night of our 1st Annual 12 Days of Christmas. Gather your family, pull everyone together, and let’s finish this the best way possible - as a community. 📸 Snap that group photo and share it with us as we send out a big, joyful Merry Christmas to all.

Day 12 is coming to an end - let’s make this final challenge a BIG ending.

🎄 Merry Christmas, Muscowpetung! 🎄
