In other news, the always -popular Lions' Turkey Bingo came up against, not just one but, two winter storms and so it was cancelled. The Lions are hoping for a calmer start to December 2011 and have scheduled the event for the first Monday of that month. (Submitted photo) "GIFT OF THE MAGI" PRESENTATION RESULTS IN MANY GIFTS OF FOOD STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER A presentation of the "Gift of the Magi" resulted in the presentation of many more "gifts" for both local and area food banks. Six hundred dollars was raised from the Dec. 12 event held at the Bayfield Town Hall. Several hundred dollars of donated food items were also collected. Rev. Angela Brands, of Trinity Anglican Church, and Mary Ellen Zielman, Operations Manager, Huron County Food Bank Distribution Center (HCFBDC) each accepted $300 from the event presented by the Bayfield Town Hall Heritage Society (BTHHS) as well as The Village Bookshop. Bayfield's Trinity Anglican Church operates a locally based outreach program known as Feed My Sheep. The HCFBDC is located in Exeter. Approximately, 75 people attended the reading of the "Gift of the Magi". Margo Robeson, president of the BTHHS, welcomed all to the historic town hall and thanked The United Communities Credit Union, Clinton Branch, for their sponsorship of the afternoon. She also thanked The Village Bookshop, guest readers and Blyth Festival Singers for their support and participation. Three guest readers told the story. They were Playwright Paul Ciufo, author of the recent Blyth Festival production, "The Killing Snow"; Mary Brown, owner of The Village Bookshop; and tireless Bayfield community worker, Gail Grant. Thirty members of the Blyth Festival Singers graciously donated their afternoon to provide musical accompaniment for the reading. The choir performed a variety of Christmas Carols, some with accompaniment and some a cappella ending with "We Wish You a Merry Christmas". Key players in the "Gift of the Magi" event (1-r): Gary Coursey, of the Blyth Festival Singers; readers, Paul Ciufo and Mary Brown were thanked by Bayfield Town Hall representative, Pat Langley, at the conclusion of the performance. Reader, Gail Grant was not present for the photograph as she was off making the hot chocolate to be served afterwards. (Photo by Roger Lewington). Two Bayfield women would like to invite everyone to share your empties for Alzheimer's Disease this holiday season. Dianne Brandon and Carrie Courtney will be participating in the 2011 Walk for Memories on Jan. 29 and they have come up with a unique idea as a fundraiser. It is, of course, hoped that everyone will celebrate responsibly this festive season and when doing so plan to donate the empty beer bottles and cans; wine and liquor bottles and even soda cans as well, to their team, "For the Love of Elane and Doris". The ladies being honored are currently living with Alzheimers, Elane Brandon, Courtney's grandmother, and Doris Schilbe, Dianne's mother. Empties of all sorts may be dropped off at Brandon's Hardware in Bayfield, or arrangements can be made for pick up on Jan. 9 (other times can be arranged as well).

Twinkling white lights brightly reflect on the snow at the heart of the village - Clan Gregor Square. PHOTOS AND STORY BY MELODY FALCONER -POUNDER How long do you have to do something on an annual basis before it becomes a tradition? Last year at this time I let my Bayfield Breeze subscribers in on a little holiday tradition that my husband and I look forward to each year. On a night close to Christmas, when no room at the Inn is required, we pour some hot chocolate in a thermos, put holiday tunes on the car radio and drive about the village looking at the holiday lights. Last year I took my camera so that I could share the wonderful scenes with our subscribers and this year I did the same. The difference in images captured from this year to last is definitely the addition of an abundance of the white stuff. There were many homes where the decorative deer were up to their necks in snow. What added to the magic of the evening was the moon - a lunar eclipse was just hours away on the eve of Winter Solstice. Luckily I managed to get a couple pictures of this majestic moon before the clouds consumed it. So in the spirit of establishing a tradition - here is our holiday postcard to you, the 2010 version. A little tree in front of this house on Eugene Street is all decked out for the holidays becoming the focal point of the landscape. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek521ssue77/tabid/481 /Default.aspx 5/10 5/27/2019 Week 52 Issue 77 There is no better invitation to family and friends arriving for the holidays than a brightly decorated front entrance; this home on Christy Street warmly welcomes all who knock. Outlined in white lights, this home on Carriage Lane becomes the decoration. Nothing says Christmas in Canada better than a coniferous tree shimmering with lights and snow on a cold winter's night. This one can be found at a home on Sarnia Street. Christmas came early for astronomy enthusiasts at 2:41 a.m. on Dec. 21 as the winter solstice was ushered in by a total lunar eclipse. This photo was taken around 7:30 p.m. on Dec. 20 when the moon was so bright, despite the clouds, it wasn't hard to imagine that something magical was soon to happen. The next such spectacle isn't set to occur until 2094 for those of you who, like the photographer, chose sleep over watching the event occur. cc.villageofbayfield.com/Members/BayfieldBreezelWeek521ssue77/tabid/481 /Default.aspx 6/10 5/27/2019 Week 52 Issue 77 Santa Claus and his reindeer take a test flight from the lawn of a home on Tuyll Street.

Melody Falconer -Pounder Week 52 Issue 77 SUBMISSIONS Last Christmas, my niece, Jackie, and her husband, Franck, announced at the Pounder family gift exchange that they were expecting their first child together in July of 2010. He or she would be the first wee infant to arrive in the family for nearly a quarter century — you can imagine the excitement that news generated through all gathered there. This will be my great nephew Jackson's first Christmas and at five months he is sure to be right in the thick of things — between naps of course. Celebrating family and friends is what the holidays are all about and I have been blessed with two terrific clans — the one I married into and the one I was born into. Both enjoy Christmas and family. I have had the pleasure of participating in Pounder Christmases for 22 years now. There was but a dozen souls at my first soiree still a far cry from the usual three or four that gathered round our tree at home. In fact, during those early years I used to have to go and take a wee break in a quiet space away from the hubbub until I got myself accustomed to all the excitement. And now this holiday there will be 21 people, and two dogs, squeezed into the living room at the home of our matriarch and patriarch ready to share in the joys of the season over our gift exchange. And that will be the greatest gift of all. On behalf of the Bayfield Breeze Committee and their families a very Merry Christmas to all our subscribers. - Melody Ideas and contributions to the Bayfield Breeze are always welcome.
