Skipping Christmas

Neighbourhood Life is about awakening the power of families and neighbourhoods.  Here you will find stories, insights and challenges from life in various neighbourhoods throughout Central Alberta.  The greatest commandment includes, 'to love your neighbour as yourself' and when this is taken seriously so much happens that make neighbours say, "Why don't we do this more often."

Grisham's book, "Skipping Christmas" is one to make you tear up with joy.  Ironically, Christmas was filled with joy and the idea of skipping it was more stressful in the end for the family.  Read the book or watch the movie, "Christmas with the Kranks" and you will see the neighbours rally around the Kranks!  There is no doubt Christmas is prime opportunity to share the joy with neighbours.  Bring a meal, host a party, or simply enjoy the fireworks that the neighbourhood wants to share (which are some of the pleasures that we shared in our neighbourhood this season).  Others have told me how they shared Christmas with neighbours.  If you have a story, you may share it here.
