Well for the 11th time this year, there goes another month. Minutes quickly turned into hours, hours into days and in a wink the month of November will be shot for 2007. Hope it was good for you. By next week the season of Advent will be here. Using our Christian calendar that’s the waiting/getting ready time for Christmas. Our date books may say that but… It seems Santa has been out and about for at least two weeks.Take a breath. Consider the lovingaspect of Christmas time and putthat as the first thing to do. All theother details, gifts, parties and food,are to be secondary to the truemeaning of Christmas. Dig out yourSunday school memories ofChristmas and get real about thehope, joy, peace and love that’s in your life. The recreation board hosted the community Christmas party on Saturday and made a great venue for getting together. Good company, great food, nice music and lots of fun. It’s a good way to end November and set the mood for December. Curtis got married in October and with the busy lives everyone seems to lead, it’s taken us until now to get together. If Curt was part of your past life and you’d like to meet Julie, feel free to visit our home onSaturday after 2 p.m. We are nottrying to snub Santa and we dorealize that Santa starts his paradethat evening. After all the yearsSanta has been good to us wecertainly would not interfere withhis party. Pop in and you can talk toJulie about life with Curt and ofcourse you’ll want to tell Curt a few things. Think about it – Julie, Curt and Santa all in one day – good deal. As the Christmas spirit sneaks up on you, be sure to think of how your actions affect the lives of others.Charitable donations are a good wayto say you care. Shopping locallysupports our business people andkeeps our village viable. Useful giftsand ones that support good causeswork on many levels.So as you get ready to do your partfor Christmas joy, remembereverything we do affects someone. Check out all the neat things to attend in the next few weeks – lots of very nice ways to spend our time. Enjoy life! Bye now, Betty G.W. By Jo-Ann McDonald The Brussels Cadets are still collecting pop cans and returnable bottles. Leave them at the rear of the Legion on Tuesday evenings. The Friday night supper saw a great crowd enjoy roast pork. This week is salisbury steak. The Branch hosted the Huron County men’s darts on Saturday. Over 50 men had a great afternoon of darting. The Hamilton family enjoyed their family Christmas at the Branch on Sunday afternoon. A social time of visiting and food are always fun with the family. Friday is the last day to pay your dues at the early-bird price and enter your name for the draw. It makes Chairman Greg Wilson’s job a lot easier when the dues are paid before year’s end. Sports sheets for darts are up so drop into the Branch and sign up or contact sports chairman Rick McDonald. SH youth loses vehicle A musical afternoon The F.E.
