THIS CHRISTMAS, THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WILL BE GIVING CHILDREN

EXACTLY THE SAME GIFT.

A REASON TO SMILE.

How do you tell a child who has been good all year that they won’t get any gift this Christmas? Kids don’t understand things like unemployment and recession. That’s why Dairy Queen is running Angels Anonymous.Bring a smile to an underprivileged child’s face this Christmas. Just take an Angels Anonymous card from the tree in any Dairy Queen store. Buy a suitable gift and return it – unwrapped, with the card – to Dairy Queen before December 22.

Be-cause everyone loves Santa and it is my FAVOURITE holiday of the year! I am go-ing to talk about how much chores I have been do-ing. I have been a very busy boy with chopping wood every day ususally? Also I have been cook-ing, shoveling the driveway and been doing some septic work with Dad. I have been enjoying Liz for a year ever since you gave him to me. He has been very active, but there has been 1 time were he has got really sick. It was not good

- everyone was worried sick! Like I mean everyone was sad and felt bad for him be-cause he couldn’t even open his eyes. It’s like he was in a comma.Santa since I have been such a good boy this year all I am wishing for is hockey cards.Thank you San-ta!Say hi to the elves for me,Sincerley, Owen. Merry X-mas!
