The Huron Expositor, 1982-12-08, Page 4A4 — THE HURON EXPOSITOR, DECEMBER 8, 1982 Dubllfiw and caQga Christmas is more than parties Correspondent JOAN CRONiN 345-2772 As each day goes by we get closer to Christmas. The snow has vanished 'for the time being. but it will return no doubt. Mother Nature either forgot to turn off her shower or is having a , real crying spree with all this rain. Poor old Santa Claus will have to trade his reindeer and sleigh in for Noah's Ark or the Love Boat. if all this rain doesn't ,soon stop Each weekend is booked with Christmas parties and festive 'happenings, such as Sante Claus Parades and pre -Christmas dinners. The' red nose is more common and Rudolph is no where to be seen and many a head feels as big as Santa's tummy. Homes are beautifully decorated in- side and out with lights and decorations. The traditional Christmas tree is decked out in its tipest bobbles and trinkets only for a robust youngster to knock over while sneaking a candy cane from the top of the tree. Moms and dads are plan- ning their guest list with care not to miss any of their friends or family. and mom visualizes the turkey and stuffing and Christmas pud- ding on the table, a feast for a king. Last minute shopping is being done by many. while for others, shopping has just begun. But Christmas is more than parties and gifts. it is the' celebration of the birth of the Christ child. We all know what a marvellous event it is to have a new baby in our own , homes. It is a beginning of a new life and with the birth of the Christ Child. it was truly a new beginningfor us all. As it • is Advent. a time of prepara- tion for the coming birth of the Holy Child. all peoples in 'all countries throughout the world prepare in, their own special way for the birth of the Saviour. Rich and poor. black and white join together as a unified body to mark this event. War torn countries set aside their hatred and vio- lence on Christmas dayy. to reflect and worship. What 'a shame this calm and peace could not last forever. Peace of mind is as vital as peace among men.. and. in our present economic times, for many this is becoming more and more difficult. A new courage and strength from within must come forward and as a result. we often find a more strongly united fam- ily, 'chore willing to share fifes burdens' and jovs. If your tree has little or no presents around it. you need not dispair. for the gifts of "'love. peace, joy and friend- ship cannot be bought or sold. but are earned through the years and are forever. The Dublin and District Athletic Association Bingo is still being played every Fri- day evening at 8:00 p.m. in the Dublin Community Cen- tre. The consolation winner of $100.00 last si•eek was won by Mrs. Lola Rohfritch of Mit- chell. This week the jackpot will be 5500.00 on 54 calls. It sure would be nice to have that in ones Christmas stock- ing. This past week the St. Patrick's Parish Adult Choir 'egtertained at the Smith's Nursing Home in Mitchell and on Tuesday, December 7 they will entertain again and this time it will be at the Ritz Lutheran Villa. It is really a' treat to bring a bit of Christmas joy to the residents of these homes and to let. them know that they are not forgotten. On Tuesday. November 30, Mrs. Marie Melady was honoured by a farewell party •hosted at the.home of Ted and Nell Doyle.
