Extra Date Added at Burnaby.

I am happy to announce that an extra date has been added to my Heritage Christmas at Burnaby VIllage Museum schedule.
I will be there on Boxing Day from 1- 1:45 and again at 2:15.
Here is what you can look forward to at the Village over Christmas.

2008 Christmas Traditions, Past and Present

Scenes from seasonal storybooks and songs bring Christmas memories to life at the museum. The smell of cedar and pine boughs, the sight of festive wreaths with bright red bows, and the sounds of carollers remind visitors of Christmases past and present.

Also, look for decorations inspired by:

• The Nutcracker Suite
• Twas the Night Before Christmas
• O Tannebaum
• The Gingerbread House

Highlights include:

Father Christmas listens to children’s wishes. (Father Christmas represents the spirit of Christmas and is depicted as a lean man wearing a long belted robe & hat.)

Footlight Theatre returns to entertain visitors for another season. During the Heritage Christmas, their play will be presented over 45 times! Admission to these performances is included with museum entrance.

Baking in the Farmhouse. Every Sunday, before Christmas, visitors will be treated to the smells and tastes of baking - right from wood-stove in the kitchen at the Love Farmhouse.

"Twelve Days of Christmas" scavenger hunt. Items mentioned in the song have been placed throughout the site: pick up your check list, locate all the items, and earn a small prize.

Musicians, entertainers, demonstrators, story tellers, community choirs and heritage crafts are also scheduled throughout the season. Click here for the schedule of entertainment.
