Outside the home, brightly col- ored lights are gleaming and extending a warm welcome to everyone. One of the happiest times of the holiday season is the family gathering around the Christmas tree. The lights ... decorations ... even the kind of tree we use are all parts of traditions that have come to us from many parts of the world. It is said that Martin Luther began the practice of lighting a tree. He used candles, hanging from branches, to represent the stars on Christmas Eve. Everywhere, the tree is looked upon as one of the merriest customs of the Christmas seasons. At recent worship services. re—;4^^''' Arts an have aleady begun to sing the carols. They are beautiful both in song and music and it seems a shame that they are sung, for such a short period. Perhaps if they were used more often, the real meaning of Christmas would stay longer. Last Sunday at the worship service, the choir sang an anthem. In the afternoon along with Dr. Toll's band, residents had the pleasure again this year, of listening to the bells. The bell ringers are a group of young men from St. Andrew's Church in Wingham. The leader off these talented musicians is Mr. Gordon Leggatt. They played a medley of Christmas carols on the bells, and was much enjoyed. This coming week promises to be busy one, as the Festive Day approaches. Residents are looking forward to the con- certs that will be presented. 1 Christmas On Dec. 11, Worship service was held in the chapel with Reverend Pick in charge. There was a very good attendance. In the afternoon, a Christmas variety concert, ar- ranged by Mabel Gray and Joan Henwood from Goderich was presented. It was much enjoyed and residents appreciated their coming, especially at the Christmas season. Those taking nart in this oresentatinn were• soprano soloist, Joy Harrison; violinist, Mabel Gray; pianist, Joan Henwood; baritone soloist, Ralph Henderson; piano soloist, Helen Bryans of Mitchell. We extend a warm welcome to Mrs. Reta Ladd of Clinton, Mr. Wilson Morley of Ex- eter, Mr. Jeremiah McMyler of Goderich, who have come to reside at Huronview.
