When to decorate before Christmas? We find ourselves asking the same question we always do. Isn't it a little early? Others and I wait until after Remembrance Day.
It’s so nice, when the weather is still half decent, to be able to put out your outside decorations. Who enjoys doing it when it’s -40 C?
I have a few Christmas ideas. Instead of using gift tags, it is nice to surprise someone with a picture of themselves on their gift, especially if they don’t know you’ve taken it.
Buy a bag of bows and a foam wreath and cover it with bows. Decorate your fridge. Make it a snowman. Use your imagination. It’s fun. For Christmas dinner, put your Christmas stockings on everyone’s chair to make it look really festive. Have fun.
Great fun was had at the Discovery Co-op Mall Nov. 14. Mary Carpentier and I sold tickets for the Maymont seniors’ fundraiser. We were joined by Mel Deagnon, Tom Caldwell and Bert Carpentier playing music for the people in the mall. Some even danced. We also appreciated Pius Fritz and Carl and Maureen Ross, who helped us entertain. Thanks to the mall for letting us set up and do this. I’m sure any groups trying to raise money for their event appreciate this opportunity.
Our thought and prayers go out to the Ducharme family on the passing of Bernice Ducharme and the Schmidt family on the passing of Dwight Schmidt. May they rest in peace.
