A NOTE FROM BETTY
Merry Christmas, Merry
Christmas, Merry Christmas.
One more sleep and it's Santa
Day! The wait has been wonderful!
Greeting friends, going to the con-
certs, dressing up for the parties,
decorating your home with stuff that
memories were made of, thinking
about friends and family while you
shop for that special gift and
strolling through the village admir-
ing the pretty lights — and now it is
Christmas!
Like a child in full blown excite-
ment we check the fridge and cup-
boards to see that we have the sup-
plies we need. We wash the sheets in
anticipation of visiting family and
we peek under the tree to see that all
the gifts are still there. Yes, we're
ready!
Bring on your favourite Christmas
Eve church service with the glow
that comes with it. I think it's the
love we share as community for
each other, for our country and for
our fragile world. God bless this
holy time.
Tomorrow, after that last one more
sleep, we gather as family (not nec-
essarily blood line family either) to
share the glory of the day to share
time and treasures with each other.
It's a grand opportunity to let some-
one know that they hold a special
spot in your heart and the wee token
you pass to them is saying thanks for
being you and for being in my life!
From the Graber and Watson
home — Greetings in this blessed
season!

It was a noisy place at the Branch
last Monday when the Optimists
hosted children's bingo. Many par-
ents brought their youngsters for a
night of fun with bingo, prizes, pop
and chips. The Legion was glad to
help the Optimists in this Christmas
activity for the community children.
We hope to have had a good crowd
for our potluck and gift exchange.
Remember Dec. 31 is almost here
and while you have family members
home, maybe they will have a chance
to drop in, pay their dues and have a
visit.
New Year's Eve tickets are about
half gone, so if you want a fun night
pick yours up at Murray's
Barbershop or the Branch.
If you like to plan ahead look to
the end of January for a Robbie
Burns dance — great music and the
pipe hand will perform as well.
In these unsettled times, let us all
take the time to remember our lost
veterans and loved ones. Be thankful
for the way of life we enjoy because
of the efforts of these valiant men
and women. Take a moment to pray
that the world unrest will soon cease
and a new generation of veterans will
be but a few.
On behalf of Branch 218, I thank
you for your continued support and
your encouragement in my efforts to
write, At the Branch.
Wishing you a
happy
Christmas and
a bright
New Year
