Good News Story
Kids Only Shoppe was a roaring success this year at the Millarville Christmas Market! Mrs. Claus and her helpers thank you for the support. The money raised will go to support the school hot lunch programme in six surrounding schools.
The cutest little shopper made my day when she put her hand up to her mouth and whispered in my ear:
“Can you keep a secret? Our family does not celebrate Christmas, but we like to buy presents for people who do.”
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
