Wow, only eight more shopping days before Christmas and the stores do have some extra specials on merchandise. How much cheaper can it get on Boxing Day?
SaskPower has been working in the area these past two weeks removing trees that are under the power lines. Tall trees touch the lines, creating a power outage. Yes, Mayfair area still has overhead lines. Near Whitkow the line is underground.

Persephone Theatre in Saskatoon featured a unique and different live theatrical performance Nov. 25 to Dec. 13. The title is very long, so I will call it a Christmas Carol with Scrooge and important others, originally written by Charles Dickens. Leanne Cherwinski, Faye Liebaert and I enjoyed this comic romp Dec. 12.
Mayfair Mennonite Church is putting on a Christmas program at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 23 in the hall. It is open to everyone, so come enjoy the entertainment and refreshments.
Eight cabins got broken into on my cul de sac at Chamakese Resort on Pelican Lake First Nation last week. Luckily, mine was untouched. This is a common occurrence, as cabin owners and people living permanently at Chitek Lake experience the same problems. Individuals doing vandalism and stealing should be more severely punished. In the process of checking my property, I did visit some locals to wish them a merry Christmas, which made my day a great one. There are so many wonderful people who are permanent residents living in scenic surroundings in the forested area.
Family of wee ones are enjoying the Christmas concerts put on by the younger children at schools. There's nothing like a good, old-fashioned, traditional Christmas program that the students have diligently practiced and are proud to share their talent with others. The teachers work hard to make sure everything is a success.
Get well wishes go out to Melvin Gonda of Hafford. Many Mayfair people know him well.

The premiere of another Star Wars movie is to hit the theatres this coming week, bringing in a ton of money. It costs millions to produce movies and what producers can do to create certain scenes is phenomenal.
