Christmas cheer in
the making. Seamus Staunton's residence adorned with the
now familiar seasonal lights on display again this year.
Each year it gets better. This is some spectacle. Also,
for the first time, there is the opportunity to donate to the
local hospice association and Seamus has placed a box at the
crib where all donations are very much appreciated. |
The turning-on
of the Christmas street lights last Sunday brought the local people out
to enter into the seasonal atmosphere. Also on the street to
celebrate the event were the carol singers from the choir and anyone who
wanted to join in entertained on this cold evening.
