One popular guy
Eric Ross might have been the most sought-after individual
at the Brussels Legion Christmas mega meat draw on
Saturday. He was in charge of delivering wings and french
fries during the event. Behind him is Lisa Glanville, left, and
Joan Smith who were almost as popular as they were
selling/drawing the tickets for the meat draw. (Dennyscottphoto)

Christmas traditions abound

Only 13 sleeps. The countdown is
on for the small set as they wait in
anticipation for Dec. 25. It's hard not
to get in the mood when kids buzz
around with their sense of
enthusiasm and wonder.
Don't you just wish that adults
would take a hint. We are in the time
of hope, peace, joy and love so
happily demonstrated by the
children. Adults so often get hooked
on buying and getting, competing
and receiving, so listen and learn
from the children and you'll have a
better Christmas time.
Traditions are events that happen
regularly, cultural continuity by the
dictionary. For some, certain things
must happen in a certain way at a
certain time or things are just not
right. Thats fine as long as everyone
involved appreciates the tradition
and the reason for it. Things like
attending Christmas Eve worship
with family and friends is a tradition
for many with the obvious reason of
the season. New pyjamas or hot
chocolate on Dec. 24 is another one.
Christmas Eve suppers, brunches or
dinner on Dec. 25, for some are set
Hummel wins mega meat draw
By Jo -Ann McDonald
The Thursday night darts had a
good bunch of darters out to play.
Winners were: first, Lawrence
Machan and Sandra Josling; second,
John and Sheron Stadelmann; high
shot, Sandra, 105 and Lawrence,
101.
The weekend was very busy at the
Brussels Legion Branch with five
functions planned and only one
being cancelled. The first was
euchre. The stormy weather on
Saturday kept many of the euchre
players away, but a dozen braved the
roads to come. They had a good
afternoon with adjustments made to
the prizes. Winners were: first, Norm
and Hellen Dobson, 72; second,
Betty and Edna McLellan, 64; third,
Betty and Frank Hulley, 63; lone
hands, Paul Machan and Barb
White, seven and low, Hazel and
Faye, 51. Comrade Glenn Bridge
looked after the smaller crowd.
The men's Huron County Dart
League held its day of play at the
Branch on Saturday. Most had full
teams with just a few missing due to
weather. Comrade Deb Ross and Jo-
Ann McDonald looked after the
afternoon darts.
The Christmas mega meat draw
was held starting at 5 p.m. Saturday
night. There was a good bunch of
people on hand to take home the
winnings. There were multiple
winners including Barry O'Krafta,
Joan Beuermann and Liz Wright and
others taking home turkeys, hams,
shrimp, beef and more, including
Sharon Rapson, Betty McCallum,
Brad Beuermann, Joan Smith, Norm
Dobson, Linda Taylor, Fred Cousins,
Daisy Wong -Schmidt, Jo -Ann
McDonald, Jacquie Waechter,
Jeanette Monahan, Alley
Beuermann, Larry Rock and Lloyd
Glanville. The happiest of all was BJ
Hummel with the mega win. The
evening of draws was looked after
by Comrade Lisa Glanville, Joan
Smith and Comrades Jim Brown and
Sandra Josling did the cooking. continued on Sunday with a

As we wrap up another year,
we think about how lucky we are to know good folks like you.
We sincerely appreciate your support.
at a certain hour, for others the time
and date moves to accommodate the
working family members. The time
is not important in this house, the
attendance is, so we do a survey of
the work hours scheduled, find a
date and then truly appreciate the
gathering of family, hopefully
during the 12 days of Christmas.
One of our traditions is a
December supper meeting with Jim
and Pat Castator; now in its 16th
year. Jim is Joan Jacobs' brother and
knowing how important brothers
are, we are the taxi to a nice
restaurant where chat, laughter,
stories and food make for an
enjoyable evening. Drayton's Chop
Shop was this year's site where
service and great food insured that
this tradition will happen next year.
For many the traditional
Community Choir Choral Concert is
part of their preparation of the
season. Mother Nature had other
plans this year and blew in lots of
snow on Sunday. A disappointment
for many, especially the choirs who
had practised for the evening. This is
Huron County winter, so sometimes
we just need to stay at home for
safety's sake. If you're in carol
withdrawal, plan to attend the
United Church on Dec. 22 at 7 p.m.
and sing your wee heart out.
Enjoy this Christmas time.
Remember cough into your sleeve
and wash your hands often.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
