Welcome to the 2015

Christmas Greeting Edition Getting to know you is important Welcome to the Estevan Mercury’s annual Christmas Greeting edition, our giant Christmas card to you, our valued readers and consumers.

This is the season to have a little bit of fun and we’re doing just that with the assistance of some budding authors and artists.

We have elicited some eager messages from the youngsters at the Alliance Church

Kids’ Club who have contributed a number of special season pictures and stories.

Also contributing to our giant Christmas card are the students from Mary’s Little Lamb Pre-School who were quite willing to let you know what they really liked the most about Christmas and this special time of year.

We hope you enjoy the following pages

that embrace the spirit of the season and extend our own words of peace, love and joy to you all.

We are proud to serve our community as its longest running continuous business and we will be there to bring you all the community news again in 2016.

Thanks for your continued support and readership.

Best wishes at this magical time of year. Your Mercury community team.

Joy Peace Hope Love

Health Happiness Harmony Prosperity

For all the joy you’ve given us this year, we are sincerely grateful, and look forward to seeing you in 2016.

Again this year, I have made a donation to Estevan Food Bank in lieu of sending individual Christmas Cards.

Leaving cookies and milk for Santa Claus is a Christmas Eve tradition. Children regularly place a dish of cookies and a glass of milk by the tree on Christmas Eve so that Santa has enough energy to complete all of his gift-giving before kids wake up on Christmas morning. The tradition of leaving cookies out on Christmas Eve may trace its origins to Saint Nicholas. On the feast of St. Nicholas on December 6, children would leave food and drink for the saint and any attendants. The treats would be exchanged for gifts. While that's one theory behind the tradition, others think it is linked to the history of the Christmas tree and the edible decorations that adorn it. Santa would snack on the ornaments. Even after edible decorations gave way to inedible ornaments, the tradition of leaving a snack for Santa remained. Whatever the origins behind the tradition, millions of children dutifully leave milk and cookies for Santa on Christmas Eve.

What I like about Christmas: It’s Jesus’ birthday.

What I like about Christmas: Presents and Christmas trees.

Test your knowledge of popular Christmas movies What would the holidays be without snowflakes falling outside, a mug of hot cocoa in hand and a favorite Christmas movie on television?

Television is full of feel-good movies come the holiday season. Choose from among classic flicks you have watched year after year or new movies vying for spots as soon-to-be favorites.

Watching Christmas movies is a holiday tradition for many families.

So much so that lines from popular movies are easily remembered and recognized. Those who can recite movies verbatim might enjoy testing their mettle with the following Christmas quiz loaded with memorable quotes from

some holiday classics.

Movie Quotes Quiz 1. "It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags."

2. "Uh, since the United States Government declares this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed."

3. "If TV has taught me anything, it's that miracles always happen to poor kids at Christmas. It happened to Tiny Tim, it happened to Charlie Brown, it happened to The Smurfs, and it's gonna happen to us!"

4. "I want an official Red Ryder, carbine action, 200 shot range model air rifle."

5. "Bless this highly nutritious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner and the people who sold it on sale. Amen."

6. "Iris, in the movies, we have leading ladies and we have the best friend. You, I can tell, are a leading lady, but for some reason, you're behaving like the best friend."

7. "Who gave you permission to tell Charlie there was no Santa Claus?

I think if we're going to destroy our son's delusions, I should be a part of it."

8. "I want to wash my hands, my face, my hair with snow."

9. "We're not just doing this for us.

We're doing it for the kids. For every kid who ever sat on Santa's lap. For

every little girl who left cookies and milk for Santa on Christmas night. For every little boy who opens a package Christmas morning and finds clothes instead of toys. It breaks my heart."

10. "We all know that Christmas is a big commercial racket. It's run by a big Eastern syndicate you know."

11. "I fear you more than any spectre I have seen. But as I know your purpose is to do me good, and as I hope to live to be another man from what I was, I am prepared to bear your company, and do it with a thankful heart. Will you not speak to me?"

12. "Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

13. "Light the lamp, not the rat, light

the lamp, not the rat! Put me out, put me out, put me out!"

14. "Tell me something, Billy. How come a cute little guy like this can turn into a thousand ugly monsters?"

15. "Wanna see some magic? OK, let's watch you disappear!"

16. "That's not 'my' Christmas! 'My' Christmas is filled with laughter, and joy... and this: my Sandy Claws outfit.

I want you to make it."

17. "That's neither pig nor pork, it's beef."

18. "I passed through the seven levels of the Candy Cane forest, through the sea of swirly twirly gum drops, and then I walked through the Lincoln Tunnel.

Hot Chocolate IDEAS TO TRY

Few things are more comforting than sitting under a warm afghan and sipping a mug of steaming hot chocolate when cold wind and snow are blowing outside.

The terms "hot chocolate" and "hot cocoa" are used interchangeably, but they actually refer to two different beverages. Hot chocolate is made from shaved solid chocolate, which contains both cocoa and cocoa butter.

Hot cocoa is made from cocoa powder, which alone does not constitute full chocolate.

While traditional hot chocolate is a favorite

for many, there are ways to make this beloved beverage more unique. · Caramel: Pair a rich, dark or semi-sweet hot chocolate with a swirl of caramel. The caramel will add sweetness and extra creaminess to the blend. · Peppermint: Peppermint and hot chocolate can make for an interesting contrast.

The cooling nature of peppermint works nicely with the heat of hot chocolate, imparting a wonderful aroma as well. · Chile powder: Chile can add a little kick to hot chocolate that works surprisingly well. Add just enough to offer a little

tingle of residual heat at the back of your throat. · Coffee: Add a splash of coffee to the hot chocolate for an instant boost of caffeine and some mocha flavoring. · Whipped cream: Create the flavor combination of a chocolate cream pie with a generous dollop of whipped cream. For a truly rich flavor, make a batch of fresh whipped

Happy Holidays to You Soon it will be Christmas Day, so we’re chiming in with our best wishes for a happy and healthy holiday!

Merry Christmas, and thanks for your patronage.

cream, which will also thicken the hot chocolate. · Coconut milk: Invoke the tropics by substituting coconut milk for regular milk. You may feel like you're on your own private island. · Peanut butter: Few people can resist the combination of chocolate and peanut butter. Melt a spoonful of peanut butter into the beverage and enjoy.

Merry Christmas

What if I....

The Estevan Alliance Church Kids Club on what it might be like they were...

If I saw the Bethlehem Star I would….

By Alexcia, age 9

If I saw the Bethlehem Star I would….

By Emmalee, age 8

If I saw the Bethlehem Star, I would follow the star and see what’s going on, and when I find out, I would get all the things that baby Jesus needed. If the Bethlehem Star was NOT shining, I would pray to God to know what’s going on with the star.

If I saw the Bethlehem Star, I would probably wonder what is going on before he spoke to me. Then I would follow it and then when I got to him I would worship him.

If I were Mary I would….

By Damaris, age 8

If I were born in a Stable, I would like…

By Kaliyah, age 8

If I were Mary, I would not like to be pregnant without being married. If I saw an angel I would scream. It would be painful to ride on a camel.

If I were born in a stable, I would like the horses, but the bed would not be good to sleep in. And my mom and dad would be so happy.

And I would be born on Christmas day, and I would be born in Bethlehem.

If I saw the Bethlehem Star I would….

By Elora, age 9 If I saw the Bethlehem Star, I would follow it and go to baby Jesus.

And I would wonder what was going on. When I found out what was going on, I would praise baby Jesus and bring him gifts.
