Christmas in Renfrew County is always a special time of year. As we celebrate the Birth of Jesus for the 2009th time, may we be ever mindful of the implications and blessings bestowed upon mankind because of this wondrous event.

I discovered this wonderful creche scene in the flower bed at the home of Revel Stewart in Cobden, Ontario during a visit this past year. Revel is a well known Ottawa Valley Auctioneer. It was late afternoon and the angle of the sun was exactly right to illuminate this wonderful folk art scene!

I hope Christmas was a time of blessing for you and I wish you all the best for the coming year! God bless!
