The Quyon Pastoral Charge is hosting a Christmas-themed Facebook Auction right now, since we are unable to host the annual Christmas House Tour this year. If you haven’t already joined the group be sure to check it out. There is an amazing selection of items and services on the auction block. The auction will run until Nov. 29. A big thanks to all who have contributed and to those who have been bidding thus far.

It has been a difficult year for many of us and I have been doing my best to find joy wherever I can. For that reason, I have decided to start celebrating my favourite season early this year. Oh, who am I kidding. I put my decorations up early almost every year. My tree went up over the weekend. I just love how cozy and lovely everything looks when my house is decorated for the holidays. Some may think I’m crazy but it makes me happy and that is all that matters right now. If it brings you joy, go for it.
