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.
