- Friday night is "Midnight Painting" at Clay Cafe Avalon. I may just have to grab a friend/kid or two and head over... quite a lot left on the old Christmas list ;-)
- Miss the St. John's Santa Parade? Or the kids were in it and would like to be a spectator at one? Head to the Mount Pearl Christmas Parade, Saturday AM at 10 (starts at the MPS High school and goes down Park Ave). Or the Goulds Parade: Sunday, starting at 1 p.m. at the racetrack and ending at Bidgoods Plaza - non-perishable food items and letters to Santa will be collected along the parade route. Prizes, hot chocolate and Timbits will be given out at the Lions club after the parade.

- The Mummer's Festival has officially started (for details and info, see www.mummersfestival.ca) and one of their first events is the Hobby Horse Workshop Saturday from 10-2. The entire festival is a Newfoundland Cultural revival and this workshop's goal is to familiarize participants with hobby horses (and their bottle cap eyes and naily-teeth ;-) and also to build some of the horses to be used at the upcoming Mummer's Parade.
- Michael's has two Christmas craft events this Saturday - a Christmas Countdown Calendar at 10-12 and a Decorate Your Own Stocking Make & Take from 12-2. Please note this is while supplies last and purchase of some materials may be necessary.
- I am so excited about the December Theme for the Kids Program/Family Fun at the Fluvarium! O Christmas Tree will enlighten children on where this popular holiday tradition comes from and why evergreen trees are important to our forest and river friends throughout the winter! Saturdays & Sundays at 1:30pm, now until the 18th.
- The Festival of Music and Lights, at Bowering Park, is a celebration of holiday lights and sounds with musical guests performing during the late afternoon, prior to dusk, culminating in a lighting of the trees surrounding the duck pond and main paths. There will be hot chocolate and cookies will be available during the performances. (You have to go - the duck pond lit up is one of the sights of Christmas after all ;-)
- The City of Mount Pearl will also host their Tree Lighting Ceremony in Centennial Park on Saturday at 6:30pm. School choirs will lead the singing of favorite Christmas Carols - song books and hot chocolate will be available!
- If you haven't yet braved the line-up for photos with Santa at the mall (and believe me, today it was massive!), there IS hope: Sunday morning, from 10:00am-1:00pm, the Paradise Girl Guides will host Brunch with Santa (at the RPYCC) and - whoo-hoo - kids will have the chance to meet Santa and get a picture with him once more!
- More crafty entertainment Sunday afternoon (2-4PM) at Family Fun at The Rooms: this week's theme is Pop-up Cards (how cool is that??). Children can recycle cards and tags into new meaningful Pop-up cards for that special someone this season!
- Don't forget your pooch! Heavenly Creatures’ sixth annual Pet Pictures With Santa event is this weekend: Dec. 3 from noon to 8 PM. and Dec. 4 from 1:30-8:30 PM. at St. Teresa’s Church.
