This makes for a less tense attitude and children and adults alike can take part, gain a little confidence and experience performing. The Brohman family began the evening as they have for three years now with a show. This year’s was “The Night Before Christmas”. While Teag, helped by Dad, recited the story, his sisters, Brette and Darcie, helped by Mom, moved around cutouts for use on an overhead projector. Barb Bosman emceed the programand played piano accompaniment forseveral numbers.Young piano players who filled thesanctuary with Christmas tunes were Kiara Driscoll, Chloe Elliott, Sara and Sydney Hunking. Also tinkling the ivories with duets were a pair of sisters, Marsha Szusz and Christine Moore. Vocal carols were offered by Eli and Sadie Baxter with the help of Mom Erica. Erica and two nephews, Jake Yantzi and Quaid Kerr, and a niece, Madelyn Yantzi, sang a pretty number of Carly Simon’s, “The Heart of Christmas Is You and Me”. A pair of young girls with holes in their smiles, Elianne Kreuger and Shayna Hunking, told everyone that “All I Want for Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth”. “When a Child Is Born” was nicely sung by Paige Gibbings. Three sisters, Michelle, Darlene and Louise Lobb sang “The Little Drummer Boy”. The beautiful “O Holy Night” by Brittany Lyon was a beautiful addition to the concert. A mother and daughter duet of “Silent Night” was offered by Sara and Kim Hunking. Reading scripturepassages and playing an Africandrum to related music was QuaidKerr.The men of the Londesborough choir did a fun number, “My Rusty Chevrolet”, to the tune of “Jingle Bells”. The ladies of the choir offered a Christmas wish for peace and love. A lovely duet of “Silent Night” was played by Barb Bosman on piano and John Jewitt on violin. Also singing and doing tricks to the enjoyment of the children was Daisy in her light-up Santa costume. A Christmas reading by Brenda Radford reminded everyone to see the face of Jesus in everyone we meet. Gordon Shobbrook brought a touch of humour to the evening with two recitations. One many of us can relate to was titled “When I’m an Old Lady and Live with My Children”. In spite of the lack of snow, Santa Claus arrived to the delight of the children and listened to their Christmas wishes. The adults enjoyed coffee and treats following the pleasant evening. Keeping them in stitches Teag Brohman, accompanied by father Barry, kept everyone smiling and laughing at the third annual Londesborough United Church Christmas concert on Friday Dec. 16. The Brohman clan, consisting of Barry and Teag, as well as Kendra, Brette and Darcy, started things off with a very special telling of the Night Before Christmas. (Denny Scott photo) The pupils of Hullett Central Public School presented a fun concert of music on Tuesday evening, Dec. 13. Mrs. Barnett had chosen the songs well. As always the primary pupils were entertaining and some a trifle stage struck. All grades demonstrated the value of having a music program as part of the curriculum. Varieties of snowmen, reindeer and snowflakes done by the classes decorated the walls of the auditorium to put everyone in the mood. Barb Bosman played piano accompaniment for the songs. The senior band, made up of pupils in Grades 7 and 8, showed the progress they have achieved since September. The band began the concert with “Jolly Old St. Nicholas” and “Up on the Housetops”. Kindergarten A sang “Christmas Is My Favourite Time of Year” and held up props such as presents, cards and decorations, etc. to show why. Kindergarten B sang, “The Colours of Christmas” and their Christmas decoration props were in reds, greens, gold, etc. The two classes performed an action song, “Jingle Bells”, with bells jingling on their arms. In red chef hats and aprons and carrying mixing bowls and spoons, Grade 1 students offered “Making Christmas Cookies”. “Cool Santa” was the Grade 2 class’s number dressed in Santa hats and sunglasses. A rap number, “Santa’s Job Is a Snap” was done by Grade 2/3 students. In red and green elf hats the children clapped and snapped. The song started out telling how easy a life Santa has but by the end of the song the children had changed their minds, realizing Santa really works hard all year and especially on Christmas Eve. Grades 4, 5 and 6 sang “The Tree”, about choosing and decorating a Christmas tree and making a wish on it. This number showed advanced choral singing having parts singing. Then Grades 1 through 6 combined for two songs, “Frosty and the Hand Jive” in which the older pupils did hand jives and “Getting Ready for Christmas”. We just wanted to say “Merry Christmas”, and “thanks” for calling on us this past year. We appreciate your kind patronage. from Ron, Betty, Paul and Dianne K.M.M.

This week’s Christmas quote is attributed to Frank McKibben: “This is Christmas; not the tinsel, not the giving and receiving, not even the carols, but the humble heart that received anew the wondrous gift, the Christ.” The following is this week’s Christmas trivia. In ancient times a yule log was burned during the 12 days of Christmas celebrations. Sometimes a piece of that log was kept to start the fire the following winter. Superstition has it that the good luck would be carried over from year to year. The answers to last week’s Christmas songs are: leave and broadcast from an elevation is the carol “Go Tell it on the Mountain” and jubilation to the entire terrestrial globe is “Joy to the World”. Now puzzle these for a week: Wanted in December – two forward incisors and I beheld a trio of nautical vessels moving in this direction. Londesborough United Church will hold a Christmas Eve service at 7 p.m. Offering on Christmas Eve will be donated to the Mission and Service Fund unless otherwise noted. In addition, remember to bring along your sock of money for the Mission and Service Fund. There will be no service on Christmas morning. Services will resume Jan. 1.
