Christmas Begins - Santa Boxes and the Parade

The beginning of the Santa boxes feels like the beginning of the Christmas Season. This year the boxes were delivered to the church on Wednesday November 19th. On Wednesday night the youth helped us sort them into routes. It was fantastic to get them all organized. 

Delivery started today. Ken spent a lot of today at the church handing out routes. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve in this capacity and I'm so grateful to Ken, he really does most of the work and he does it so well and so cheerfully.

Fiona decorated the tree today which was AWESOME! It looks beautiful. She tidied, cleaned and decorated and the house feels magical now.

Tonight it was the Ajax Santa Claus Parade. After the parade they light the tree, hot chocolate and cookies are handed out in front of the library and the Steel Pan Band from the high school performs. It's really, really fun to listen to them. We especially loved watching our dancing elf!
