It’s beginning to look A LOT like Christmas!!! Our Annual Christmas Workshop was held on Sunday, Dec 8th .
The crowd gets larger each year -- and this year was no exception – it was almost a SELL OUT!!
As always, everyone in attendance had a wonderful time! It is great to see all those who have been attending for years and years, and to welcome the many new faces who join the fun and
become part of this great - -almost 50 year-- tradition!! It’s a day to catch up with friends and get into
the Christmas spirit! With all the Christmas music, and the lights, bows and glitter
from our boutique, you can’t help but feel jolly!! Some of the beautiful creations can be seen on doors all around
the neighborhood. The Workshop aprons were worn by many - they looked great
and added just the right festive touch! Once again, a BIG thanks to Margaret Johnston and her
committee for planning the day and ensuring that a great time was had by all!!
If you weren’t able to attend last week, we hope you can join us next year - the more the merrier!!!!
We thank all the participants for their continued support of St. Anselm Youth Activities!!!!
