Children may not hesitate to tell their parents what they want for Christmas, but their discussions with Santa are, traditionally, confidential – unless the child reports the conversation. Here, Santa listens carefully to young Penny Antonichuk as they get their picture taken at the Roberts Creek Hall on Dec. 8. A couple hundred people turned up for the annual “Santa in the Creek”, sponsored by the Roberts Creek Community Association. There are still several chances to get a photo with Santa – including the Trail Bay Mall in Sechelt over the next two Saturdays. And there is even an underwater “Scuba Claus” at the Gibsons Public Market on Dec. 14. For details see pages 8 and 9. KAREN SPICER PHOTO
