From everyone at Purple Grove, we wish all our readers a very Merry and Blessed Christmas and All the Best in 2010.

The Purple Grove Christmas Party was well attended and enjoyed by all. Thanks to Jo Reid and Diane McCulloch for organizing the evening. The potluck supper was delicious. Master of Ceremonies Diane introduced the entertainment which was superb from violin solos to recitations and songs. This was provided by the Alvie, Becker, Greenwood, MacDonald, and Reid youngsters. They sang the usual Christmas songs, plus some about hippos and flying cows. Of course, Santa made his appearance and checked on the latest additions to our Purple Grove family. Santa has been showing up for more than 70 years. What a great evening of fun and fellowship!
