Come on out December 8th to cel-ebrate the holiday season alongside your neighbours with Mahogany’s 2nd Annual Community Parade start-ing at 5:00 pm.

The Parade will be approximately 1.7 km long (30-45 mins), beginning at the Divine Mercy School Parking Lot and ending on Masters Blvd. Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus will lead the Parade, which will also include local groups and businesses as well as some other special surprise guests. A Celebrity Guest Judge will be present to judge the Best Float!!!

Bring a toy for the *Toy Drive to the parade, where Parade walkers will come around and collect them from the spectators for the Ronald MacDonald House, providing toys to those families less fortunate this holiday season.

Mahogany Tree of HopeMake your way down to the Beach Club after the parade from 6:30 – 7:30

pm and join your neighbours in some carolling by the fire (roasting marsh-mallows of course) while you watch the Mahogany Tree of Hope light up. Hot chocolate and cookies will also be provided.

Non-perishable food item or cash donation for the Calgary Interfaith Food Bank will be accepted at the Mahogany Tree of Hope, where you will also be entered in a prize draw!

Here Comes Santa Claus!Stayed tune through What’s Up Mahogany to book your appointment at the Beach Club from 3:30 – 8:30pm for pictures with Santa, courtesy of the Mike Burton Home Team!

*Toy DriveThe holiday season is just around the corner, reminding us that many out-of-town families with sick children will call The Ronald McDonald House “home” this Christmas. Help make the holidays a little bit brighter this year for the kids and families at the Ronald McDonald House by donating an un-

wrapped gift at the Parade of Lights. Due to the immune suppressed nature of the children staying at the house, they cannot accept used toys. Suitable donations include gift cards of all kinds, clothes, toiletries, travel mugs, movie passes and more.

It’s no longer necessary to head downtown for sensational, handcrafted ice cream: the bustling suburbs of Calgary’s S.E. are getting sweet love from XO Ice Cream & Waffles. Owners Darren and Melanie, who live in the S.E. with their two chil-dren, were longing for quality ice cream close by. Darren de-cided to leverage his background in restaurant management to make this dream come true.

“We were looking for a community outside of the core that was missing a niche place like this,” Darren says. “Our goal is to help make the S.E. suburbs the best place to live in Calgary and to be truly part of a community.”

Located in Auburn Station, XO is a modern-day interpretation of the mom-and-pop shop—a place where families come after school, meet neighbours and create new memories. Since its March opening, XO proudly serves an exclusive assortment of ice cream and sorbets, fluffy waffles and unique sundaes, all made daily with love at the shop.

From the product and service quality to the nostalgic, youthful brand and inviting decor, no efforts were spared and it’s being noticed. XO has been recognized as one of the 25 Best Things to Eat in Calgary, and the only ice cream shop, in the October issue of Avenue Magazine.

“This is an incredible recognition for our family and employees who have worked hard to bring nothing but the best to Au-burn Bay and surrounding areas,” Darren says. “Our employees had a great summer meeting thousands of friendly residents and look forward to scooping up servings to the community for years to come.”

With a busy summer behind them and winter settling in, XO has added coffee and hot drinks to the menu. “We are excited to serve ROSSO Coffee Roasters, some of the best coffee Cal-gary has to offer,” Darren explains. The selection covers the es-sentials, from espresso, americano and latte, to teas, tea lattes, hot chocolate (from an in-house recipe) and affogato, an espresso poured on top of ice cream. “Try any of these drinks with one of our buttermilk waffles, made completely from scratch. You won’t be disap-pointed.”

For those who would rather indulge in ice cream while watching Netflix this winter (and who doesn’t!) all current flavours, classic or seasonal, are available in funky vintage-looking, takeaway pints from the shop’s freezer. You can grab any three pints for a discounted price and leave with a gift box that is a favourite treat for dinner parties. Af-ter all, any day is ice cream day when you live in Calgary!

Out of sortsMeaning: Mildly unwell; not in one’s usual health or state of mind.

Origin: Since at least the 17th century “sorts” has been the name of the letter

block used by typesetters of early printing presses. If one were “out of sorts” they couldn’t finish their product or the finished product wouldn’t make sense.
