As the snow glistens from the many colourful light displays brightening up the long dark winter nights the spirit of the Christmas season arises. Many have begun preparing for the holidays by hunting for gifts, with deals, for friends and family. Others find the true meaning of the season by Making A Difference for those in need. This year give yourself the gift of supporting the local economy by shopping in your neighbourhood.
The holiday season began early in November with many Christmas Markets and Craft Fairs with many more to come. Here is your chance to find unique locally produced handcrafted gifts that also help support your local businesses. Give something different other than the usual mass-produced items.

Christmas is a season for all to enjoy even though it is a Christian holiday that was derived from a Pagan celebration. Something that is reflected in all religions with the holiday season is that of peace and joy and goodwill towards men. Christmas is a representation of hope in the darkest times with the birth of a better future. Do your part towards your brighter future and support your local economy.

Check out the many wonderful seasonal displays around the city in the malls and stores. Be enlightened by the dazzling light displays around the city. Gift your time by volunteering at, or supporting, the many charities and organizations that provide Christmas to those that would not have a Christmas without the generosity of others.
