Christmas
Greetings 2021
A Christmas card filled with greetings, memories Your friends at the Estevan Mercury are looking forward to another Christmas season, and we hope you are, too. Each year we’re excited to bring this special keepsake publication to you, our readers. The Mercury has always described this as our Christmas card – the brightest, most colourful and the most beautiful Christmas card of the year. This is our way of showing our appreciation to you for the support you have shown us during the past 12 months, by reading our paper on a weekly basis, and by viewing our stories online as they appear.
presented by:
In this year’s Christmas greetings publication, you’ll find bright and wonderful messages from local businesses who are also grateful for your support during the past 12 months. And, in keeping with a tradition here at the Mercury, you’ll find Christmas memories from people in the region. We’re excited to bring to you the students in Grades 4-7 at Bienfait Weldon School, and from the teachers and staff at Westview School. It’s always fun to share the reflections of both young and old alike. We know that Christmas is going to be different this year for
a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be a special time. One thing that won’t change from the past is that Christmas will be what you make of it. Hopefully you’ll be able to create some new positive memories that you can look back on fondly and cherish. And perhaps you’ll create a new tradition or two. We hope you enjoy our Christmas card for you this year. Please hold on to it. If you have family and friends visiting from out of town, we encourage yoau to share it with them as well. The staff of the Estevan Mercury would like to wish you a Merry Christmas, and all the best in 2022.

Bienfait students looking forward to Christmas The Grade 4-7 students at Bienfait Weldon School were excited to be part of the Estevan Mercury's Christmas greetings promotion this year. The students shared their favourite memories of Christmas, and discussed why they look forward to Christmas every year. Weldon principal Nina Lonsberry said the messages from the kids were great, and when she was reading them, she found them to be cute and funny.
"What I loved about most of them was how much feeling they put into it," said Lonsberry. "Even a memory that was bad, he turned it into something good, and he talked about how much he liked his brothers and sisters." The older kids who participated often had longer reflections to share. Lonsberry was particularly impressed about how Christmas brings the kids’ families together. They talked about enjoying Christ-
mas supper, rather than focusing on a favourite gift. The kids had some fun with the submissions, and they like to reminisce about Christmas. Right now, Christmas is all the kids are thinking about, Lonsberry said. Even when they have an assignment that has nothing to do with Christmas, they try to put a Christmas spin on it. The kids, and their families, are looking forward to seeing their photos and their responses in the paper.

“It’s Christmas.” I sa id. Bark bark, I heard. We don’t have a do g. I open the door and wrapp ing paper was on my do or. I pushed the wrappin g paper off my door and wen t down stairs and everyone was at the Christmas tree. And there was our new dog named Atla s.
I loved when I was at my grandma’s house. When I opened the present, I saw a huge Lego set. I opened the Lego set on the table and started to build on the table. It was a huge Lego Jays plane with two snakes.
Ava M One day on Christmas I woke up to my brother banging on my door saying “Wake up, it’s Christmas!” And then I started to say, “Oh my gosh, it’s already Christmas! Yippee!” Then we both went to wake up my parents. We woke them up by jumping on their bed screaming, “Get up! It’s Christmas!” Then we raced to the living room to see what we got. As we were opening our presents, my mom and dad were recording us. After we were done cleaning up, we got into the truck to go to my grandma ’s house in Weyburn. When we finally got there, we ran inside to see everyone. We had supper and then we watched Christmas shows. After finally opening the presents, we started to play with the toys that we got. The next morning we made lots of Christmas cookies and made a lot of loafs of bread. It was a lot of fun.
Merry Christmas from your local plumber
Aurora “My favourite Christmas memory is when I got a puppy for Christmas. My dad really wanted a puppy. He went to the animal shelter but someone already had her. Then they didn’t want a puppy anymore and we were next in the adoption line. So we got her and named her Ember! When we got her she was really shy. I was the first to see her because my dad was y at work. She peed on the floor but it was oka because she was scared. She is now a really big dog and is still growing! And that is my favourite Christmas memory of all time!

My favourite Christmas memory was my sister being born on Boxing Day, which made me very happy. I love to open presents and decorate the tree. And see my cousins and family. I like to see lots of people laughing and having fun and opening gifts. I like to make snowmen and igloos and leave cookies and milk for Santa.
My favourite memory about Christmas is my Elf on the Shelf. They are my mem ory because every year they come to my house and when they come to my hous e it makes me happy beca use when I wake up they go of around in the house an d it makes me laugh.
Braxton My favourite Christmas memory is when I was setting up my Christmas tree, and then I fell and then my sister fell down then my brother fell down, and then we started to laugh.

John On one Christmas Eve I went to sleep, then I woke up at 2 a.m. and I came out of my room and asked my dad if I can open the presents, and he said no. But he didn’t ask why I was up. I think he was too tired to say then. I go to go to bed but back into my room and I tried YouTube for 4 I couldn’t sleep and I watched hours. The end.

One of my favourite Christmas memories was when we went to the Moose Jaw Spa Hotel with our friends. We try going to that Hotel every year. When we went with our friends, all of us exchanged gifts, while we sat by a fireplace, and we went to a restaurant together, to eat dinner. We took a walk in a park right by the hotel; we also stopped by a little café to grab some hot chocolate. We went swimming every day and stayed up late at night. What I liked most of all about this memory is that we got to enjoy our Christmas together with our friends, got to talk to each other, spend time together, and create great memories.

My favourite Christmas memory as kid was after we finished up opening all our gifts, we put on our hockey skates and walked across the street to the frozen lake. We would play pond hockey with all our friends until it was dark. We ate supper and watched a new movie we had received for Christmas to finish off the day.

One of my most favourite Christmas memories as a child is spending it with aunts, uncles and cousins. Growing up on a farm, we were able to spend most of the day snowmobiling and enjoyed a wonderful meal with family. There’s nothing like Christmas at the farm.

One of my favourite Christmas memories is from a year where Christmas was quite calm and relaxed. Usually we would be running from house to house visiting extended family and eating many meals. This particular year, my family spent Christmas evening sitting in front of the fireplace, watching rented movies and enjoying some quiet family time. I still remember the movie we watched and how we realized that the holidays are about spending quality time with those you love.

I remember being at my grandpa’s place on Christmas Eve with all of my cousins and aunties and uncles. The kids would pack the basement and be playing board games, cards, video games and watching movies, or we’d be outside at the outdoor rink or on the driveway playing hockey. The adults would pack around the kitchen table and the living room and play cards, watch sports, and have a fantastic visit. Such special times!

Grade 1 teacher One of my favourite Christmas season memories at Westview School is walking into the school in the morning and hearing Christmas music. Then, walking into the staffroom to notice that Mrs. Gorgerat had decorated the staff room with a Christmas stocking for each staff member on the cupboard doors. Then the finale, listening to the piano playing, children singing and parents in the gym, excited to see their children dressed up in their wonderful Christmas outfits! It was the best!
