Matthew

My great nephew, Matthew, celebrates family Christmas on December 27th in Guelph.

Christmas Trifle

We didn't go to Guelph on Christmas Day for our usual family get together because my niece's husband was not well and couldn't face cooking for a crowd. So it was postponed until yesterday. Sue took this English trifle. So good I had two helpings.

Merry Christmas, Everyone

Christmas Lights on Rio Lane

Many of the neighbours on Rio Lane in St. Catharines have elaborate light displays. We visited there before the evening crowds.

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown

A property in Beamsville has been boarded up for some time due to a fire. Recently two young people painted this mural on the plywood boards. I had to fix it up in Photoshop and added the caption.

The Grinch on King Street

I guess Santa was busy this year for the 'Miracle on King Street' event in Beamsville so the Grinch filled in.

Holiday Arrangement

As part of "Wrapped up in the Valley", The Watering Can Flower Shop in Vineland let us make a plant arrangment. Mine is on the left and Sue's on the right.

One Month Until Christmas

At this time of year, many Niagara Wineries have open houses and other special events. I took this photo at the 13th Street event "Holiday Tips and Tastes".
