Items included in the kit are personalized items, candies, a book, along with a gift card for groceries, etc. I humbly ask that when you plan on utilizing your gift card that you continue to be diligent in your practices for the safety of your loved ones. I strongly recommend that Alberta Health Guidelines are followed at all times. This means only one person per household to go shop for the grocery items. At this time I acknowledge the hardships we are facing, however, I strongly recommend. limiting the movement outside of your household. Also, wash hands consistently and thoroughly; wear a mask, practice physical distance and keep your social bubble small.

Christmas is a time for gathering with family and friends, however, this is a unique year and some of our traditions will have to be changed, or new traditions made, to accommodate safety for all. On that note, I would like to send you and your loved ones many blessings of safety, happiness and good health. May the spirit of Christmas, the kindness and the giving, follow you and your family throughout the year.
