Until January 4<\/strong>
\nDead trees inside<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Event for sick kids featuring fancy trees, pretty lights, and an excuse to wear that \u201cI don\u2019t need an excuse to wear this\u201d beauty of an ugly sweater? That is an event that puts the \u201cwin\u201d into angel wings! The doors at the Empress will be open for you to gander about, soaking up the intricate splendour and soothing warmth of the elegant ballroom that has been utterly pimped out for the holidays. Plus, the bedazzlement collects donations to raise funds for B.C. Children\u2019s Hospital (it\u2019s free to get in, however).<\/p>\n

\nProduce in a box<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Quick, this is your last chance to order a delicious large cube full of vegetables from a local farm. It\u2019s FarmBox, and it\u2019s cheap and convenient and fresh. But you must place your order by 5 pm December 5 at either Camosun bookstore. Orders will arrive December 10, and will be the last until 2013, which, according to our Mayan friends, might not actually happen.<\/p>\n

\nMusician suspicion<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ve taken to the streets!\u201d is what I would shriek if I were a baker in the 19th century and an orchestra of mutants had emerged on a chilly winter\u2019s day playing their tunes as though they couldn\u2019t even feel the cold. Well, at 1 pm on December 8 the Greater Victoria Concert Band will be defying all laws of nature and playing a concert in the cold. If you\u2019re not yet convinced that they may not be human, wait until you hear this: they are not charging anything. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s free, and it\u2019s happening at Market Square. Go to gvcb.ca to conduct further research.<\/p>\n

Thursday, December 13<\/strong>
\nFree food and stuff<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
