'Tis the Season to be Jolly!

The Christmas season was upon us with invitations to many different parties. SPORTSNET put on a great beautiful reception at an art deco designed ballroom. Andrew's boss Virginia (middle) with head of H.R.
We held our own OPEN HOUSE for several neighbours. Since we were the newbies on the street I thought it would be a good way to meet more people who, up to now, would just wave a greeting to us. So, we wrapped up tiny presents for the children and put on an appetizer/cocktail party which was well attended and alot of fun.
Our neighbour's son, Mathew, is a budding artist and we have admired his drawings on occasion. He painted us an acrylic painting of a forest scene from the perspective of one who is lying down and looking up to trees during an autumn day. We were especially grateful for the effort put into this gift and we have hung the painting in a prime location.

My brother Victor hosted a Christmas celebration at his house for us and Sandra's family. They are true gourmands and served an excellent dinner (which I will never be able to duplicate with my lack of culinary talents.

Our friends Karen and Richard held an Open House and it was great to reconnect with many people that we have not seen for months.
