Uxbridge lights up the sky - visual art at it's best ....

Wow Christmas is almost here and people are running around going berserk - did I get enough food for christmas visitors? what about the gifts? did I forget anyone? did I get enough for everyone? WAH - they are not wrapped. Oh no, what about the Christmas cards. Do we send them? or send just an email? CRAP - we forgot to do a yearly letter.
So much pressure for a time of year that should be filled with joy, thankfulness, remembrance, positive expectations, family, and all over warmth of this time of year.

All you need to do is take the time and all that other stuff will be forgotten. Honest, trust me.

Uxbridge has two very large "Art Shows" on display over the next few days, and running for a number of days.
If you haven't witnessed a "Living Nativity" you are in for a treat. Even if your belief does not lean towards Jesus miraculous birth, and the story of angels, shepherds and wise men. This is a stunning event to see. Live animals, 125 performers and a story that will give hope. The performance will happen each evening at 7:30 and 8:15 on December 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th.
It will be held at the Centennial Park beside the Township offices.

THEN - go over to Elgin Park and see the display of Christmas lights galore with the Optimist Club Fantasy of Lights. There will be over 20 displays throughout the park, and you can either walk or drive through. These displays have been installed by groups, businesses and individuals to show a colourful brilliance during this season. You can wander through this from 6pm - 9:30 every night from December 17th to 25th. I would suggest walking through the display as you will also hear seasonal music being played throughout.
The Admission is FREE but donations are encouraged because all of the donations will be put right back into the Optimists program for youth in the community.

Celebration of wonderful arts happening in Uxbridge township during this Christmas season.
I wish all of you a joyous holiday season filled with wondrous memories. And please remember those that don't feel joyful during this season for various reasons. One word or gesture by you, CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
