It's Time to Rock Your Christmas with a Labour of Love

The jack o'lanterns have had their moment to shine, but in the cool light of November 1st Hallowe'en is so yesterday.  We're in a fast sprint now, faster than a sleigh drawn by "eight tiny reindeer", to Christmas as you've never seen it before.  

In twenty-five days, on Saturday November 26th, the Dundarave Festival of Lights rolls out its 20th season.  It will connect us with the eternally young face of Christmas.  From ancient traditions to modern twists, bold bonfires on the beach to the intimacy of a ballad in the Festival Longhouse,  all of the joy, peace and promise of the season will find us, shake us out, deepen our connections to each other and to our communities.  We'll rock this Christmas by allowing the season to rock us.  And we will do it together, by making sure no one is left out in the cold.

Click the "Sign Me UP" button now to claim a Festival tree of your own.  Use it to send your best wishes for the season, by letting your love shine out, in the Festival's forest of Christmas trees on Dundarave Beach.  Your tree will reach over 65,000 people who make pilgrimages to this forest throughout the holidays.  Your tree will be a beacon of hope for the hundreds of people who are homeless and at risk of homelessness in our community, by raising charitable donations to support the Lookout Emergency Aid Society's labour of love on the North Shore.

And join us on Saturday November 26th for the Dundarave Christmas Fair, the launch of an unforgettably beautiful Christmas 2011, the season of love that is seeking us out even now, as the days grow shorter and the winds turn cold.
