st weekender november 231996 p 9 christmas exuberance retaliation for halloween hijinx back in august visions of sugar plums began danc ing in my head this obsession with christmas started years ago as a child i blame my family for this yuletide affliction that seems to be getting worse as the years go by there was never a pile of presents or a load of goodies but this was always a wonderful fantasyfilled time of year for me now to keep a semblance of normalcy i try to refrain from singing carols out loud until after labour day weekend i figure by then fall is here and people shouldnt be surprised to hear a christmas tune or so i convince myself my poor husband has to live with me pouring over christmas recipe books and gift catalogues and bab bling about every aspect of the season for months on end for years he has put up with this insanity silent ly grinning and bearing it and i wonder were his gray comes from now after all these years of marriage he felt brave enough to finally lay down the christmas law the rural route ruth ruth leblanc rules are no carol singing until hal loween passes and no decorations up until after the santa claus parade i can live with the decoration rule but the tunes have a life of their own pity him if you want but this is my payback for the torture he puts me through every halloween as soon as the leaves start falling he turns into freddy kruger and nothing delights him more than scaring me half to death one night i went into the washroom and a head was silhouetted in the moonlight on the counter hubby had mounted a clown mask on a wig stand and left it for me to find i cannot list the number of times he had hidden and surprised me with various hideous sdss scene masks on this just breaks him up as i clutch my heart and tell him i am getting to old for this and one day he will go too far and i will have a heart attack just how i ask would he explain my white hair standing on end with my eyes open in terror to the coroner this is why i relish taunting him with if s beginning to look a lot like christmas just to watch him cringe if christmas is not your favorite time of the year maybe i can brighten up the season for you from visiting a christmas tree farm to interviewing santa to sharing old tales and new stories we are going to have some holiday fun whether you want to or not ten year term cheap

stouffville district sec ondary school will be held off school property student council social con venors kathryn easter wendy pegg and jill villeneuve worked very hard to ensure that this years annual win ter soiree would be held at sleepy hollow golf and country club the students thought that gymna sium at the school just didnt have the atmosphere that sleepy hollow would said student council presi dent jordan butcher also its nice to have a change from the gym to sleepy hollow the meal will be a sitdown dinner as opposed to past buffets with the hassle of the cleanup to be taken care of by the golf club said butcher students it seems couldnt agree more with student councils new idea most would rather socialize off school property im glad that it is finally going to be held

administration had some initial reservations though they didnt see the need to change locations said butcher also the students attend ing are required to sign a contract this year agreeing to abstain from drink ing alcohol before or during the dance the principal and viceprinci pal were persuaded to allow the dance to be held at sleepy hollow after all mainly because of the professional job the social convenors did said butcher all reservations aside though spir its are running high at sdss the change in location promises to make this one of the best semiformals yet this may be just the thing to hold on to- flagging school spirit that has plagued sdss in the past few years tickets for the dance sold out quick ly and this week the final seating arrangements are being put together
