FROM BRUSSELS
By Lee Chesterfield
It’s that time of year. You’ve put it
off just as long as you could. It’s
nearing the end of November and
you haven’t bought, made or built
any Christmas gifts. Here at
Huronlea the green foliage and the
red bows make everything festive so
get with it.
Many years ago my husband
received a beautifully hand-knit sock
from his sister with a note saying
“the other one was not quite finished,
but it would follow shortly.”
The next Christmas approached
and still no “other sock”. My hus
band sent it back with a note saying,
“This sock needs his mate. Please
send immediately.”
Well the sock went back and forth
for over 20 years and became a
Christmas ritual, and that in my book
is the spirit of Christmas.

The blanket of snow looks so pret
ty - all clean and sparkling except at
Lions Park Hill where the kids are
immediately drawn to use it as it’s
been used for years Yes, winter fun.
Sunday was recognized as
Children’s Day - a small notice of
the 1989 International Year of the
Child. If you didn’t hug a kid on
Sunday - make up for it now and hug
two. Sometimes we need to be
reminded to cherish the children -
our finest treasures.
Hello Brook. Culver, Indiana had
Brussels visitors last weekend.
Mother Brenda Wheeler and friends
Mary and Lesley Stretton and
Margaret Jarvis spent their visit
meeting teachers and friends and
being tourists. They had a good time
and tell me that Brooklyn will be
home mid-December with her friend
Katrin from Germany. So keep an
eye for Brook and Katrin during the
Christmas holidays and say hello.
Don’t forget the 5R’s annual meet
ing at St. Ambrose Church Thursday
night. We like to think the store is an
important part of the village so sup
port the board by attending the meet
ing at 7:30 p.m. Potluck dinner is at
6:30 p.m.
Several carloads from Brussels
were seen at The Centre In The
Square this past week. Neighbours,
friends, co-workers and relatives
were there to support Justin Ruttan
and John Watson. The show Jesus
Christ Superstar was very well done
from costumes, to dancing, to
orchestra, to acting, singing and
lighting. An excellent job by all
involved. It was great to see disciples
in cargo pants and of course sandals,
Herod in a two-piece yellow suit and
leather pants on Judas. Good thought
provoker and great entertainment.
Save Dec. 2 for the parade, Dec.
10 for the village choirs and Dec. 21
for carols at the United Church.
Have fun! Betty G.W.
