Christmas and the holiday season will be much different this year.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most, if not all, of our usual Christmas events, concerts and festivals have been modified or cancelled this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t all share in the Christmas spirit.
There are two ways that you can participate and we hope you will all take part.
The first is our annual Christmas light display feature, which will run in the Dec. 17th edition.
Submit your name, address, some details about your display as well as a phone number so we can get in touch. We will compile the list and come out and take some photos of the displays, which will run alongside the list and story in the Dec. 17th paper.
And if you have taken part in years past, please re-submit as we want to ensure no one is left out. Email your submission to Editor Ian Jacques ([email protected]). Deadline is noon, Monday, Dec. 14.
Home for the Holidays
In the Dec. 24th edition of the Optimist, we will present our annual Christmas greetings section and we want your help to fill that section with your favourite Christmas memory, tradition, story or even a recipe.
Please keep your submissions brief – 100 words or less and include a suitable photo to accompany your submission.
Email your submission to Editor Ian Jacques ([email protected]) by noon on Thursday, Dec. 17 to be included in the Dec. 24th section in print and on-line.
