Star bright

IT'S THAT time of year again, Christmas is rapidly approaching and
North Shore residents will soon be digging out the holiday lights and
decorations in preparation for the festive season,

Some homes and businesses limit their holiday decorations to a few
sprigs of holly and some paper snowflakes.

But others go all out, spending days to get the lights and decora-
tions just right.

At the shopping centres, Santa’s helpers labor through the night to
prepare for the Christmas shoppers. Suddenly, all the holiday trapp-
ings appear — brightly colored bells, sleighs, pretty presents and
make-believe snow,

The North Shore News wants to know about any especially unusual
or beautiful Christmas decoration, whether it is a business display
window or a brightly decorated house, yard or boat. We would like to
photograph as many as possible for our Christmas News.

If you know of any holiday decorations worth a photograph, please

call the News at 985-2131.
