Last night, the weather cooperated, and we had a tremendous crowd at our annual family night at the display event with the North pole characters!
This event depends on the efforts a number of volunteers each year.
My heartfelt thanks go out to Aaron, Michelle, Addison, Andrew, Brian, Grace, Sandy, Joe, Sheila and of course my wife Diane, for all of her behind the scenes efforts (and putting up with me which is no small feat!) 
It was an exhausting night, but with all the smiles on the faces of the adults and children attending (especially on the faces of all the children who held animated discussions with our talking tree trying to answer his riddles) it was so very much worth all of the time and effort that was put into it!
As for me there are a number of letters to answer which is priority one, followed by mailing out group photos.
So, Merry Christmas in advance, and Happy holidays to all.
