As I pen this a full-fledged snowstorm is enveloping our city. While I know many folks dread winter weather I admit to loving snow. My skiing and toboggan days are long over, but nothing adds the perfect ambiance to Christmas like snow.

With only a few days remaining until Santa arrives I have been making an effort to be well behaved, however Santa had better arrive soon as I am not sure how long I can keep up the facade. Reader response to my request for Charlie香蕉视频直播檚 Christmas Angels List has been huge. Here are most of them. I will publish my list (and Tez香蕉视频直播檚) next week.

Lifetime buddy Dan Thiessen salutes Lana Caputi. 香蕉视频直播淚 nominate Lana Caputi for visioning and producing A Christmas Spectrum. She took a great risk emotionally and financially, but gathered over 100 performers as a community to promote Autism awareness.香蕉视频直播�

Cindy Podov (Weitzel). 香蕉视频直播淢y aunt Connie Bergen for helping mom and grandma, driving her around getting groceries so grandma and her family can eat. A beautiful angel looking after my mom, taking her under her wing until mom is OK to be on her own after surgery. Connie and her husband are awesome people.香蕉视频直播�

Lucille Murray submitted a huge list of angels, some of which I have printed today. She acknowledges, 香蕉视频直播淢y daughters, Savanna Scott and Shaina Ann Dixon, for giving me the fire of a Mother香蕉视频直播檚 love to not give up, and make a way for peace for all.

Maggie Sharpe writes, 香蕉视频直播淢y daughter, Jane and my son in law Jeremy from Calgary held a special party for my husband, Bob at Apple Valley One where I live.

Dodie Bennettt writes, 香蕉视频直播淚t is indeed a privilege to name George Mapson as a person who has gone above and beyond to assist others. George has made and continues to make, a significant contribution for the burned out residents of Waters Edge condo complex.

香蕉视频直播淕eorge, who is our strata president, has worked tirelessly with cheerfulness and diligence since the fire, putting in endless hours to ensure all residents stay informed of the ongoing process. To this end he has sent out 26 electronic bulletins in the 21 weeks since the fire. These bulletins are entitled Making Every Day Better at Waters Edge. George believes communication at times like these, are vital for our well being. 香蕉视频直播淭hese electronic bulletins, complete with pictures, tell of the status of the deconstruction and reconstruction process. This keeps us all in the loop and allays much of our anxiety. In addition to these, he, and fellow 香蕉视频直播渁ngel assistant香蕉视频直播� Charlene Hodgson, organize occasional town hall meetings. His credo is making every day better and he certainly has. It香蕉视频直播檚 an honour to name him as one of Charlie香蕉视频直播檚 Angels.香蕉视频直播�

Reader Hilary writes, 香蕉视频直播淚 have a person to put on your Angel list, but I don香蕉视频直播檛 know his name. On Sunday, Dec. 10, my 97 year old friend Nancy, who has lived on Poplar Point Drive since the 1950香蕉视频直播檚, had a fall. I went outside to see if a passerby could help me to lift her back into her wheelchair. A man was jogging back from Paul香蕉视频直播檚 Tomb, and I called out to him. He stopped, came in, and happily picked Nancy up and put her into the chair. He was wonderful and needs to be recognized. I hope he can be on your Angel list.香蕉视频直播�

Shirley Anderson writes, 香蕉视频直播淎 big thank you to my angels Karen and Bert. They walked my dog Opal twice a day for most of November when I was unable to do so.香蕉视频直播�

Rob and Alice Jefferies say, 香蕉视频直播淲e do hereby nominate one Theresa Hodge. Not only is she your angel Charlie, she香蕉视频直播檚 everyone香蕉视频直播檚 angel for the love and care she gave this year to keep our Charlie around for a few more Christmas香蕉视频直播檚, a few more birthdays, and barbeques. Theresa IS the real angel this year, and with that we all get rewarded with seeing you both for many years to come.香蕉视频直播�

Thanks Rob and Alice. Clearly I concur. Merry Christmas folks and more angels next week.
