EDITORIAL - Hopeful Holidays

Welcome My Friends,

WOW! Time sure flies. Here we are only days away from ushering in a new year and biding ado to yet another year of challenges, confusion and major changes.

Things are a wee bit better than last year at this time, when it comes to life during this seemingly endless pandemic. Vaccines have helped keep Covid numbers a bit lower, allowing us to participate in non-essential activities once again, even though another damn variant threatens to reverse some of that progress.

Something I refuse to give up on is hope. Hope that we will continue to develop vaccines that will conquer Covid or at the very least keep it under control. Hope that those who allow misinformation to keep them from getting vaccinated, change that viewpoint. Hope that the world will come out of this pandemic in a better place than where we were when it began. Hope that love will defeat hatred and ignorance.

Putting all that gloom and doom aside, I offer my Christmas present to you... Scribbles Holiday Edition. Within this edition you will find photos and stories featuring our friends preparing for the holidays, a new video featuring Scribbles Christmas Greeting, two sections of holiday humour, our 40th Annual Find Frosty Contest, a new Scribbles Spotlight, everyone’s favourite pooch Joe Friday, award winning Scribbles pals and a massive section featuring what you’ve all been up to since we last met up here. That's over 100 photos featuring your adventures. 

Here’s hoping your holidays are merry and your new year is both happy and healthy.
