Old Fashioned Christmas

RV Having Fun
Its a big day in Eatonia, the annual Old Fashioned Christmas. Events will start off with the K-5 Christmas Concert. We are doing a short musical called The Best Christmas Gift Ever. I think its one of the best we've done. We've even got a duet from a couple of Grade 4 girls in the program. After the concert Santa will arrive and hand out treat bags. There's sleigh rides, wandering carolers and a singalong at the hall. There will be crafts and a treasure hunt for kids and of course the Bathtub races. I am in charge of the BBque beef on a bun which is served pretty well all afternoon. This year they are finishing off with a skating party at the rink followed by a Huskie Hockey game. Should be fun for the whole family. I was thinking about the first Old Fashioned Christmas when Megan and her friend Jane from Australia came for the weekend. Jane had never experienced rural Saskatchewan and I doubt she will ever see anything like she did that weekend. Wish jane and Megan could be here for today's festivities.

That sounds like a wonderful time! You just can't beat the festivities of rural Saskatchewan. I wish I could have been there.

Poor Al. Are you going to take this lying down on your back?
