This week we decided to participate in a Saanichton Christmas. It is a fun little holiday gathering that we thought seemed like a good idea. Apparently it begins with a pancake breakfast at St. Ann's church. I say apparently because we opted out of that in order to stay in and eat our own oatmeal pancakes, which are divine. If you leave a comment, I will send you the recipe and you will never view pancakes in the same way.

Upon arrival at the coffee shop, participants pick up a map for the Christmas tree trail. The fun is walking along the area businesses and trying to find their Christmas Tree. This activity was for the children so Mark and I didn't play along but I was witness to many people gently guiding kids to the true location of the tree. Perhaps they were rewarded with a candy cane. Perhaps just the enthusiastic involvement and attention of adults was prize enough. It would be hard not to share the Christmas spirit in the midst of a community party such as this one. And I would imagine curmudgeons just stayed away.

One day we hope to have a lovely child to take along to this event. Even though it was only the Second Annual, I have no doubt it will become a holiday tradition for many people for years to come. And may I add that the Fresh Cup makes the best Egg Nog Latte that this blogger has ever had?
