Christmas albums are not something you do frequently - Isaac Hanson

WHEN YOU NEED A LITTLE HELP....
W e all need a
little support at
some time in our lives,
however small it may be.
Eliminating stress from our
everyday life has a massive
impact on how we function
from day to day, both
emotionally and physically.
A helping hand can make
such a difference with
regards to quality of life. I
am passionate about helping
others to bring about positive
change in order to promote
empowerment, confidence
and happiness.
I offer a range of services
which have been introduced
to be as flexible as you wish.
You can also be assured
that all visits are carried out
by myself, as continuity of
service is so important to me.
I practised as a qualified
Social Worker for six years
and in that time gained
invaluable knowledge and
skills, which have been
transferable throughout
my work within Sarah’s
Support Service.
Therefore, I am fully
aware of the local
resources available and
can assist you to access
additional services
which may be of
interest to you.

Forget Rhino Mania - here
comes the Hoolephant Trail!
Chester’s Rhino Mania may be a distant
memory but in Hoole the trail is still hot with
the Hoolephant Treasure trail.
Organised by Hoole C of E Primary School
PTA in conjunction with Hoole businesses
and the Hoole Christmas lights committee
the trail saw 50 paper elephants placed in
Hoole businesses.
The trail was the inspiration of parent Anna
Marie Murray who said: “After all the support
that Hoole businesses have given the
school in recent years, the PTA was keen
to return the favour by encouraging local
shopping and supporting the Christmas
lights display.”
Christmas is a holiday that persecutes the lonely, the frayed, and the rejected - Jimmy Cannon
The elephants have been decorated by
children at the school, who were provided
with a trail map and encouraged, with
the help of their parents, to visit as many
businesses in Hoole as possible and note
which elephant is in which business. Trail
maps were entered into a prize draw and
the lucky winner helped turn on the Hoole
Christmas lights.
New headteacher Miss Cheryl Walton said:
“The children have been inspired by the
idea of a treasure trail! I am delighted by
the commitment to continue to strengthen
community and school links through the fun
of the Hoolephant Treasure Trail.”

Keep your ears to the

ground for The Suns
The River Dee may not be tidal, nor is it deep enough to surf, but somehow,
somewhere, Chester groovers The Suns have managed to tap into the spirit
of Link Wray, The Trashmen and The Ventures to claim the forgotten vices of
tremolo abuse and spring reverb addiction as their own.
Jono, Joe, Liam, Mark & Dave make up The Suns, who have tirelessly written
and recorded themselves over the past four years in various garages and In
front rooms trying to capture their sound.
Whilst performing in and around the North-West they have picked up A
followers with familiar faces along the way one being Clint Boon of the
Inspiral Carpets & XFM.
The Chester lads have found themselves in the hands of Plainsounds
where they have recorded their debut album ‘Big Trouble In Little Deva’
which is available on i-tunes and directly off the band physically at gigs.
For more information and gig listings visit http://www.facebook.com/

Q. I keep reading about ‘gel nails’, but can you tell me what
they are as I really have no idea?!
A. ‘Gel nails’ usually describes the application of a self-
levelling, gel-like substance which is applied to the nail plate
with a brush and then cured into a hard non-chip coating with
an ultra-violet lamp.
I find the majority of people having gel nails prefer a ‘gel
overlay’ to give strength to weak or fragile nails, as a strong
coating for clients wanting to grow their nails or just to give a
professional ‘just manicured’ finish for a longer length of time
than can ever be achieved with a nail varnish.
It is a fairly quick procedure and can provide a clear,
French effect or coloured varnish effect depending
on client preference. They are great for holidays,
weddings or for a perfect manicured look without
the effort of reapplying nail varnish.
A degree of maintenance is required if you are
looking to have them for some time. As the nail
grows a gap will be left around the cuticle area

Descend into luxury!

For many dedicated wine-lovers, having a private wine cellar where they can leisurely survey their
collection and pick the perfect bottle of Puligny Montrachet for dinner, may seem an impossible luxury.
Since genuine underground cellars are rare, especially in urban homes where space is at a premium, most
wine connoisseurs will have to either opt for professional temperature controlled storage off-site, or resort
to keeping wine under the stairs, in the kitchen or

Investment in allotments so
gardeners can spend a penny!
Allotment holders in
Hoole now have access
to a new facility – a
composting toilet.
Two years ago Hoole
Allotments and Gardeners
Association (HAGA)
began looking for funding
to purchase and install a
composting toilet on their
site - which has more than
200 plots.
The Association
approached their local Hoole
and Newton ward councillor
Bob Thompson for support
from his Member’s Budget
and he started the funding
pot off with a contribution of
£500.
“I was pleased to support
the project as many local

residents have a plot at the
Hoole allotment site” said
Councillor Thompson.
“Also the composition of
the allotment holders is
changing with more families
than ever actively involved
and more and more people
looking to eat locally
grown produce; are more
interested in “Grow Your
Own” and in healthy eating.
“This project makes a big
improvement for all using
the allotments.”
HAGA then approached
Chester’s Area Partnership
Board to see if their project
would fit in with its priorities.
The Board advised that it
was able to help, not just
with funding toward the

purchase costs, but to install
the toilet.
Linda Webb, chairman
of HAGA, said: “It was
really difficult managing
without toilet facilities
on the allotment and the
cost and practicalities of
installing a normal toilet
were insurmountable and
of course not very green.
So we decided that a
composting toilet was the
best option.
“We are very grateful
for the Chester Area
Partnership Board, Chester
and District Housing
Trust and Councillor Bob
Thompson for having the
vision to support us.”
 A to Z of Christmas
BY THE REV ANDY GLOVER

A is for Angels: There are angels everywhere in the Christmas Story; angels had a critical role to play in the birth of
the Christ-child.
B is for Bethlehem: History’s greatest figure was born, not in a palace. mansion or a hospital, but in a stable!
C is for Carols: “Away in a Manger” is the best known and best loved Christmas Carol, according to a recent poll.
With more than 7 out of 10 adults attending a Carol service every year.
D is for Decorations: In a Nativity play recently, all the lights were to be turned off, leaving only one light in the
manger. At the appropriate moment all light went out, even the manger light. The silence was broken when one of the
little shepherds whispered loudly “Hey, you turned off Jesus!”
E is for Emmanuel: The birth of Jesus shows us once and for all that God is not above us or against us but
rather among us.
F is for Families: Christmas was going to be different this year. Dad spoke to the family about use of time,
excessive spending on gifts and the need for les arguments. He ended with, “Lets make this best Christmas
ever!” His little son replied “But dad I don’t see how we can improve on the first Christmas!
G is for Gifts: Christmas is about giving and receiving of gifts. On average each household spend £540
on Christmas presents this year.
H is for Herod: Herod was the first man who hated Christmas. He was the original Grinch. Herod represents
Andy Glover has lived in
all attempts to destroy Christmas as a festival and to erdaicate all talk of Jesus. Hoole with his wife Sue
I is for Innkeeper: In the Nativity play Mary and Joseph knocked on the door, the innkeeper came to the door. for 20 years. Andy began
“Can we have a room for the night asked Joseph. The Innkeeper replied, come in, you can have the best room in
the hotel. There was a pause. But Joseph was a quick thinker, he looked over the innkeepers shoulder, turned to at Hoole Baptist Church,
Mary and said, “We not staying a dump like that, Come on Mary we’ll sleep in the stable!” on Westminster Road,
J is for Joseph: Joseph is definitely the forgotten hero of the nativity story. Joseph stood faithfully by Mary
and was a father to Jesus as the boy grew up. In our time, when ‘absent fathers’ has become epidemic Joseph’s as Youth Pastor, before
example is a powerful one. becoming the Pastor and
K is for Kings: The top three things overheard on the Wise Men’s Journey to Bethlehem
3. You guys ever eat camel meat I hear it tastes like chicken now Team Leader.
2. Man, I’m starting to get a rush from this frankincense!
1. All this staring at a star while riding a camel is making me woozy – I’m going to be sick!!
L is for Love: It is the season in which we are reminded of the importance of loving others, of giving rather than receiving. For God so loved the world that he
gave his only son.
M is for Mary: At a Nativity Play all was going well until the angel appeared and told the girl playing Mary she was going to be have a baby. But how can this
be said Mary since I am a Viking!
N is for Nativity: Christian art has made the nativity scene gloriously hygienic. But the truth is, the stable or cave where Jesus was born would have been
smelly, dirty and untidy.
O is for Origins: Have you ever thought why have a Christmas tree? Who pulled the first Cracker? Who sent the first Christmas card? Why do we call it
Boxing Day? Was Jesus really born on December 25th?
P is for Peace: Who can forget in the First World War, when British and German soldiers laid down their weapons came into No Man’s land and played a
game of football on Christmas Day? The first Christmas Day was greeted with the angels declaring “peace on earth”
Q is for Queues: It was the week before Christmas; in one long queue to a check out till, one man was heard to say, “they should kill the guy who started
Christmas. A lady, further back in the line replied, “They did – they hung him on a cross!”
R is for Revelling: The birth of a child is an occasion for great rejoicing – Jesus’ birth was no different. Today, however, the rejoicing, is less associated with
this birth, it is motivated by the joy of having days off work and the excess of food and drink.
S is for Santa: A little girl climbed onto Santa’s lap, Santa asked the usual questions, “And what would you like for Christmas?” The child started at him open
mouthed and horrified for a minute then gasped, “Didn’t you get my email?”
T is for Thanksgiving: Christmas is a time when we should excel in the gratitude attitude. Thanksgiving is therefore as much a part of Christmas as anything
else.
U is for Unselfishness: This Christmas, why not live simply, so that others may simply live. It’s Christmas every time you let God love others through you,
every time you smile at your neighbour and offer him your hand.
V is for Visiting: Christmas is a time when we visit family and friends and when we ourselves receive visitors. The startling truth about Christmas is that God
in Christ chose to make an extraordinarily journey from heaven to earth to visit us.
W is for Wonder: Was there a moment, known only to God, when all the stars held their breath, when the galaxies paused in their dance for a fraction of a
second, and the Word, who had called it all into being, went with all His love into the womb of a young girl?
X is for Xmas: You could say we have taken the Christ out of Christmas, if you do this all you are left with is M & S!!
Y is Yule: This was a mid winter festival which included the burning of a Yule log. It is associated with the longest day and looks forward to the coming of
spring.
Z is for Zonked Out: The festivities of Christmas end with the sigh of contentment and the sound of snoring as granddad falls asleep after his Christmas
lunch.

May I take this opportunity in saying I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and close with this Celtic
Christmas blessing:
The light of the Christmas star to you. The warmth of home and hearth to you. The cheer and good will of
friends to you. The hope of a childlike heart to you. The joy of a thousand angels to you. The love of the Son
and God’s peace to you. Amen

Oh, for the good old days when people would stop Christmas shopping when they ran out of money – Anon
