DOzENS of dazzling hippos have sprung up around Hoole and intrepid pupils from Hoole Church of England Primary School have been asked to track them down! The schools PTA has once again partnered with local businesses to launch a fun trail, which will see a total of 51 premises in and around Hoole displaying brightly coloured paper hippos designed by pupils. A map of where the numbered hippos can be found was given to the schools pupils. All they had to do was fill in an entry form by matching the unique number of each Hippo to its business location and then be entered into a prize draw to win the opportunity to help switch on Hooles Christmas lights last month. The Trail was open to anyone visiting Hoole businesses and copies of the trail list and map can be found in Mr Fruity and Deli-vert, Faulkner Street. The Hippo Trail was devised by Hoole PTA, which is keen to support local businesses following the schools hugely successful summer fair, and other events, which have
raised thousands of pounds for school funds. PTA chair Paula Norris said: once again we were bowled over by the huge generosity of our local community when it came to supporting school events, particularly the summer fair. As with the Hoolephant trail last year we were keen to get children, parents and carers supporting our brilliant local businesses in return the trail encourages them to visit diverse premises all over Hoole and get to know them. Head of Hoole CE Primary, Cheryl Walton, said: Last years Hoolephant Trail was inspirational! The children are delighted with the 2011 Hippos, it is a fantastic way of connecting Hoole CE Primary with our local community.
Pupils of Hoole Church of England Primary School spot a hippo hiding in Charles Street business Shoobaloo. From left to right: Harriet Letts, 7, Daisy Appleby, 8, Henry Letts, 5, Elise Davis-Tormey, Nathanael Maynard, 7, Jemima Maynard, 4 and Olivia Craig, 7.

Dave OBrien is raising funds for Claire House where his late daughter Libby spent her final days. the Wirral hospice in Libbys memory. He has already raised well over 13,000 but is committed to do more. He started his alcohol ban on the stroke of midnight on January 1st and wont be touching a drop until next year. New Years eve What you have to know is that this is the year of a trip to Cape Town, my annual Dublin tour, many party invitations, the Royal wedding and not forgetting my 40th birthday celebrations, said Dave. i need support to do this and id like readers to consider donating regularly to keep me going. Maybe the price of a glass of wine or pint a week, a bottle of wine a month, a bottle of champagne a year? Please consider this brilliant cause when having a drink at home or out and about and maybe miss just one drink and donate the money instead! Ask your friends to get involved too. His fundraising site is http:// uk.virginmoneygiving.com/daveobrien and you can follow how hes coping on www. facebook.com (Dave oBrien) and www. twitter.com (@noboozedaveob). The Faulkner bar and kitchen is supporting Dave in his quest with a New Years Eve party celebrating the end of his year on the wagon. See advert opposite for details.

freezer first!) then acknowledge their request and let them know, really know for certain, that they will have your full attention in two minutesand keep your word. Be fully attentive and with them within the two minutes or within whatever time you promised them. empty your head To slow down enough so that you can actually stop and be fully with another person is going to take three things : trust and planning and willingness. You have to be able to trust that, one way or another, everything will get done. It may not be exactly as you would like it to be done but it will get done. Can you let go of your need for perfection? The trick is to empty your head into your diary where you schedule everything that needs doing. Then once you know that its all covered you can be totally present in the moment that you share with another. Finally why would you be willing to make the effort? Why would you want to have enough space in your life to actually stop and really listen to someone else? Well thats the easy question. When you are fully with another person , whoever they are, you will discover the love that fills in all the cracks in your life. When you give up your busyness, you will discover how connected you are to everyone else. When you slow down long enough to listen , you will uncover the true miracle that is your life. Trust me and try it this Christmasyou may just have the time of your life! Happy Christmas!

DeCeMber ColoUr
DeCemBer is a quiet time of year when there is little colour in the garden and the remains of brown foliage is the dominant feature. if possible, try to design your garden so that there is an area of winter colour visible from a frequently used window and also at the entrance to the house. this will give you some cheering colour in the depths of winter. Cyclamen have lovely marbled green leaves which contrast well with the golden and green foliage of evergreen shrubs such as Elaeagnus x ebbingei Limelight or the yellow leaved Choisya ternata Sundance. Plant some around the shrub for winter interest and add some small daffodils and crocuses for colour in February. Enjoy the beauty of frost on the leaves of plants such as the robust purple leaved Heucheras, holly or the indestructible Euphorbia robbiae. If you want scent in winter I recommend the winter box, Sarcococca hookeriana or confusa varieties. These unassuming little shrubs have evergreen foliage and highly scented tiny white flowers in winter so put a couple near your door or in an 64

merry CHristmAs
By tHe reV AnDy GLOVer
reseArCH has revealed that 85% of people agree with the statement that Christmas should be called Christmas because we are still a Christian country. But it also shows that only 12% of adults know the facts of the Christmas story in any detail. So, if we Christians really want to keep Christmas focused on Christ, we must constantly re-tell the story of his birth in ways which engage positively with the publics interest. This year I have come across have a very simple but dramatic idea. To re-set the nativity in modern professions and high street fashions. Shepherds become cycle couriers and plasterers. Wise men are successful entrepreneurs and their gifts are iconic treasures of modern culture: a Swarovski crystal perfume bottle, a Faberge egg and a replica Damian Hirst skull. All are sharply dressed. But the traditional nativity arrangement is unchanged, with Jesus as its clear focus. And the message is compelling: However you dress it up.... Christmas Starts with Christ. Its the meeting of Christianity and high street consumerism, with Christ in the middle.
Many people today do not have even a basic grasp of the facts of the Christmas Story, whilst conversely for many Christians it has become so familiar that it is hard for us to experience it afresh. This year I want to invite into the dramatic events and stories around the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. With the help of the The Christmas Experience, the story will be told in real-time, you can follow the dramatic last week of Jesus life, death and resurrection with a series of free messages via text, email or twitter. All this will start on 19th December and reach a dramatic climax on Christmas Day a week later, the amazing Christmas story will unfold by telling the story in an as-it-happens way from the perspective of the Bible characters, be it Mary & Joseph, the inn keeper or the shepherds sent in 30 messages to your phone, smart-phone or computer. Each message is sent at the time the events would have happened as if from observers witnessing the story 2000 years ago. To get involved throughout the week follow me on twitter _andyglover and/or visit the Hoole Baptist Church facebook page and youll find me details of how to follow the story, so come and join me in what is the most amazing week in human history! Here in Hoole i would also like to invite to a very special Christmas Carol service, Carols in the Park. this will take place on sunday December 18th at 7pm and will be held in the narrows Community Park behind the Hoole Community Centre. This will be followed by coffee and mince pies in the Hoole Lighthouse Centre. What makes this a special event is that it will be part of a World Record Attempt, we are churches and individuals up and down the country who will take part in an attempt to smash the current World Record for the largest number of people singing carols together across multiple locations. Altogether we need 15,000 people to join in for 15-mins of carolling, to include Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful , O little Town of Bethlehem, Away in a Manger and Hark the Herald Angels Sing. Maybe here in Hoole we could gather 200 of us to be a part of this amazing World Record attempt and get ourselves in the Guinness Book of World Records for 2012!! What dont you pop along and get involved. Finally may I wish you all and very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and during this Christmas season, may you be blessed with the spirit of the season, which is peace, the gladness of the season, which is hope, and the heart of the season, which is love.
