The winners of the Brussels Business Group Peace on Earth Christmas basket draws, were Jim Lodge enjoys turkey supper The Christmas meeting of Morning Star Rebekah Lodge was held on Tuesday, Dec. 12 with 24 enjoying a turkey supper with all the trimmings at JR's. Members took a short walk across the street to the Lodge hall. For the meeting the Lodge had guests, Sisters Margaret Reynolds and Brenda Wendt, from Crystal Lodge in Waterloo. Also attending were Sisters Lillian Moses and Leola Harrison, members from Listowel. Christmas cards were sent to Sisters Mary Elliott and Norma McNair of London, Lillian Moses and Leola Harrison of Listowel and Linda Jacklin of Goderich. A birthday card was sent to Sister Leona Connelly. Receipt and thank yous were received from Huron-Perth Children's Aid Society and local area hospitals for donations. Brother Bill Kellington celebrated a December birthday. Laughter and song was part of an enjoyable Christmas program. Gifts under the tree were exchanged and also secret sisters revealed. Stephenson of Brussels and Lorraine Gough. There are two more draws, Dec. 15 and Dec. 22. The joy of the season continues as the tunes of the time dance in our heads. Music from choirs, tunes from children, melodies from our many machines just make each day better and better a the traditions of Christmas soar. Families gathered over the weekend to celebrate. In the Christian tradition the seemingly usual birth of the wee baby Jesus is the reason we gather to celebrate each year. This was a birth that has been celebrated in many ways for over 2,000 years. This one ordinary life spent in ordinary ways has had the most influence, worldwide of any human baby. So it's no wonder we continue to marvel at each birth and child in our midst. Only God knows the potential in every living person. So as the week unfolds don't forget to celebrate all the lives that make your world so much better. A talk show host commented this week that we have five seasons now. I think perhaps she's right. We do go from autumn into Christmas followed by winter and spring. I like it. As we look forward to the week ahead may you enjoy the company around you and pause to remember the reason that we gather and not get all spun out over details that by next week won't matter one bit. Big breath in, pause and do just the necessary things that make Christmas happen and leave all the other stuff for another time. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Bon Fete and may all the loves in your lives be with you in spirit, and hopefully body in the next few weeks. May the Blessing of the Season be yours.

TRY CLASSIFIED Milking it The farmer, our hero and star of the play at Brussels Public School's annual Christmas concert does some pre-play milking with one of his cows here. Although it doesn't quite look like the traditional method of milking a cow, Emily doesn't seem to mind. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
