harming neighbourhoods become even more enticing when this special time of year rolls around. And the area of West Tenth is no exception. Russ Davies of the Point Grey Village Business Association says merchants are opening their doors and welcoming browsers, shoppers and anyone who wants to mingle and take in the holiday cheer of the season to “come on down” – or rather “come on up the hill!”
Events in December include: Kris Kringle Clean-up Crew – Santa’s entertaining elves are hitting West 10th and getting everyone ready for the holidays. Laughter, song and kibitzing, on the spot holiday tattoos and treats – these elves will leave everyone with a smile on their face and all cleaned up for Christmas!

4 and 11 from 10am to 12 Noon. For more information, call 604-224-4934 or visit hewerhomehardware.ca. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will continue their visit every Saturday (December 4, 11 & 18) from 12 noon to 4pm as they stroll the Village and visit all the stores up and down West 10th.
From 1pm to 2pm Saturdays (Dec. 4, 11 & 18), Santa will be stationed outside Kaboodles Toy Store (4449 West 10th) to hear your Christmas wishes. He’ll have Point Grey Village reindeer hats for all the kids, and candy canes too. Don’t forget your camera, or your wish list!
