Luckily, Christmas is still alive and well here in Ingersoll. The town goes all out with lights and other decorations. In fact, this is the view behind my house:
(excuse my poor photos-they don't do any of these justice)





The view from our upstairs bedroom. Anyone know who the pink guy is?



There are literally hundreds of these lighted statues in parks all over town. The public can "sponsor" one and have their names placed below them. In our downtown (no Walmart here!) we have a very large Christmas tree with lights that change colour to music (you can tune in with your car radio when you are driving by and hear the tunes). We really like living here. Connie and I can walk out our back yard, into the park, enjoy the lights and follow the paved path to the downtown area. We can enjoy the Christmas sites and stop at the town bakery for a coffee and baked treat (or two). During the walk home you'll hear the church bells chime on the half hour. It's really like going back in time. I hope it never changes.
Also, if you are ever in town check out "Grampa's Attic". A cool old tyme shop with neat items like model planes, books on trains, ship memorabilia, old tyme candies, books etc.

It has always amazed me that Christian vote Liberal-they support ABORTION ! not very Christian

the rest of the left are the same.

Its only the Conseratives that are Pro Life

guess they all want the female vote from the womem's lib groups

All we have to do is sit down and look at the core values of a given polical party and we would know who we are and who we should vote for.

And when you shove that holiday tree, make it a pine with good long sharp pointy needles, if you get my drift....
