Tickled Pink

With the kind person who left a few extra dollars picking up a for-sale item because I told her my daughter was saving to buy a new toy. You helped demonstrate how valuable it is to be kind to others, whether you know them or not. Thank you!

With the great programs at the Veiner Centre and Strathcona Centre. The Gentle Pickleball instructor, Joan Sadownik – is awesome. She makes it so fun. And the people playing are also fun!

With the Tartones Christmas concert. Such wonderful music and a few laughs, too! Great job! Please keep up the tradition.

At the staff and students who put on a wonderful Christmas concert at Seven Persons School. The dedication and hard work was obvious and provided a heartwarming program, plus many thanks to Larry the bus driver’s special closing for the night.

With the Park Meadows light display. Every evening it lights up and tickles everyone going on the walk through the little park. Thanks to all the volunteers who work hard to put this together. After the big wind storm they worked hard all day to get things put back together. Kudos.

Holidays are so wonderful to show how much we appreciate our loved ones, especially moms and dads who have generous supportive helpful ideas throughout the year. Knowing we can share a festive feast together with them is our biggest blessing. Sure we don’t always agree, being mature enough to own our trespasses and let them know how much they mean to us is priceless.

That Corb Lund has stepped up to try to protect our headwaters so we will have safe drinking water for generations to come. Bravo, Corb! Thank you!

With the couple who bought our breakfast at Argos on Dec.13. It was a lovely gesture, very unexpected and a welcome surprise. It just made our day! It is wonderful to see such generous people in our community.

Thrilled that the public library has so many great e-books, I can always find a great read.

I was surprised and tickled pink when there was a knock on my door at Meadow Ridge on Friday, Dec. 19. Two youths from U17 South East Tigers came to my room to deliver Christmas gifts. Thank you and all the Tiger youths for your thoughtfulness and kindness. Merry Christmas.

I am the luckiest wife to have such a kind loving husband who still brings me coffee in bed and reads the news to me every morning.

My wife and I are tickled pink having watched and listened to the Animated Light Show at the 400 block of Ross Glen Road. Great entertainment and very professionally done. Best of the Season, everyone, and enjoy!

I got a great gift card for myself and got another one for $25 just because!

Shopping locally is just the best. Lots of unique shops with such great products.

I have such great neighbours.

Living on the north side of the river is wonderful. We do not need to be around all the stores all the time.

To the vendor who was at Something For Everyone selling a cool designer playing-card holder, fits in your hand, they are awesome!

Just came back from taking the Twinkle Trolley. What a terrific way to enjoy some of the amazing light displays in the city, several of which we would not normally see. The trolley was wonderfully decorated inside and the Christmas music was non stop.
