Program Details:
Our theme will be "Look What The Light Did Now". We'll unpack that on the day, but for now I would invite you to reflect on that from two possible perspectives. First of all, what are some things that feel like "bright spots" in your life right now? Places, people, experiences, ideas, beliefs...anything that feels like it brings light into your life. Second, can you think of any occasions where a surprising or unexpected change in your life turned out to be a good thing? Once again, this can be about anything.

I will make space for people to share these with the community as part of our gathering. If you don't feel comfortable sharing in person, or perhaps can't attend, please email your reflections to me and I'll read them as part of our time together. My email is <tim@thetablewinnipeg.com>, for those who might be seeing this on our website.

Food Details:
For those who take joy in thinking about and planning / preparing food, the format will be potluck, the theme will be "Holiday Brunch". If you don't care about the theme, ignore it and bring whatever you want. Or just bring yourself. The Table will provide ham and perogies (because that's what Santa eats for Holiday Brunch), drinks and paper service. We won't go home hungry.

Also, this can be a lovely occasion to invite a friend. In a world of big seasonal productions (and those can be wonderful, of course), I think our relatively intimate and informal marking of this time can feel like a simple way to come in from the dark for a hour or so, be with some lovely people, enjoy a good meal, and not feel like you had to pretend to be someone you're not. I'm already looking forward to it.
