Well, did you survive the holidays?
The Christmas and Hanukkah season is one of the busiest on my family’s calendar. And while this year was quite a bit different than in the past, we got through it as a family. There’s still no substitute for the smiles and excitement radiating from your kids as they experience the magic of the holidays — their mood is contagious.
I hope you had some time to relax, enjoy and be with the ones you love.
Here’s what’s happening in Bradford and Innisfil this weekend:
Drop-in family storytime
Join staff at the Lakeshore branch of the Innisfil ideaLAB and Library (967 Innisfil Beach Rd.) Saturday, Jan. 4 for the next instalment of this weekly family event.
