Every so often, Starbucks runs a promotion that takes the sting out shelling out $4 or $5 for a drink. Here’s the next one: Beginning Thursday and running through Sunday, you can buy one holiday drink and get one free between 2 and 5 p.m. The free beverage, of course, must be of equal or lesser value. This year's holiday beverages include hot, iced or blended versions of Peppermint Mocha, Skinny Peppermint Mocha, Gingerbread Latte, Pumpkin Spice Latte, Eggnong Latte and Caramel Brulée Latte. Plymouth and Canton have five Starbucks locations:

Ikea sent the bikes as gifts to help reduce the carbon footprint.
Workers at Canton's Ikea on Ford Road have something to look forward to this spring: taking a ride on a brand-new 15-speed bicycle. More than 12,000 bicycles were given away across the country with more than 300 delivered to Ikea employees in Canton. Employee Abbey Stark, an interior design manager, assembled her new bike in about 10 minutes. The wheels, handlebars and pedals needed to be attached, and the brakes just needed to be snapped in place. “It’s do-it-yourself, of course,” Stark said, referring to Ikea's hallmark trait.

Canton residents hope for good health and happiness for Christmas this year.
With the holiday season in full swing, reporter Michelle Munoz visited with some folks around town to learn what a few of their Christmas wishes are. None asked for a bigger TV, better digital game or fancier smart phones. Instead, their answers seem to be pretty close to what we, at Canton Patch, want everyone to have on Christmas, too: time with family, sharing love and feeling the security of a decent job. Better traffic flow on Ford Road might be nice, too – but we'll stick with the simple gifts, for now. Check out the comment on each photo.
