Original values emphasized TORONTO - The original values of Christmas are' emphasized in a coming episode . of Dear Aunt Agncs, TVOntario's highly success- ful family sitcom series. "We want - cd to get away from the glitz and commercialism," says Heather Conkie, the show's star and creator. "It is important for people to re- member what Christmas is all about and not to get caught up in the gift -giving side of it." In "Christmas at Loon lake," Wednesday, December 20 at 7:00 p.m. EST (repeated Sunday at 11:0() a.m.), Aunt Agnes is excited about sharing the joys of an old- fashioned, non-commercial Christ- mas with Alex, and Andrew. Not at all thrilled with the idea, the two young teens reluctantly agree to ac- company Agnes to a family cottage in Muskoka. On arrival, Alex (Mya Rimon) complains about missing her friends and the parties back in the city. Andrew (Bradley Philips) yearns for a TV or radio and is none too happy about chopping wood or fetching water. Even Agnes is disappointed to find that things are not as she remembers them as a young girl. But before long, their holiday turns into one full of suspense and surprises for everyone.
