We wish everyone a very merry holiday season and a happy and healthy new year. Here's to a brighter 2021 for all. But before we turn the page on 2020, we are pleased to end the year on a positive note here in our bookstore community. This is the BEST kind of holiday newsletter because we're so thankful to be able to share a good news story today. This morning Chris and I, along with our three daughters, were able to drop off a cheque to Linda Caron and Jory Pritchard-Kerr of the Collingwood General and Marine Hospital Foundation with 100% of the proceeds generated from Curiosity House Books' Holiday Hospital Raffle. We were able to do this today because of you and your generosity. We have the best bookstore community. SERIOUSLY. You purchased raffle tickets upon raffle tickets, spread the word, and in 3 short weeks we sold 225 tickets! In addition to tickets sold, there were top-up donations, so in total, the raffle generated over $2800 for the hospital to help in their fundraising goal of acquiring a new digital X-Ray machine. Every little bit helps. A state-of-the-art Fluoroscopy & Digital X-ray machine will continue to help the CGMH Imaging team to not only diagnose a fracture, but also perform minimally invasive procedures, such as barium contrast exams and joint and spine injections. It will also allow doctors to continue to accurately see how well patients are responding to treatment or detect and treat an illness like cancer in many areas of the body, such as stomach, intestines, kidneys, heart or lungs. We can't thank you enough for your support and for making the raffle a huge success. THANK YOU! Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you. Looking forward to seeing you in 2021. Best, Chris and Rina and family December 30, 2020







It is truly heartening to witness a community unite for a noble cause during the holiday season. Acts of support can significantly impact those in need. Even when I feel inundated with preparations for career assessments and contemplate the option to pay someone to take my online job placement exam, I remind myself that Take My Online Exam Pro can assist me in a responsible manner, allowing me to enhance my skills and boost my confidence.
The holiday message from Curiosity House Books beautifully celebrates warmth, gratitude, and community, reminding readers of the importance of connection through stories. In a similar way, evolving learning spaces emphasize creativity and growth, an idea reflected in Online Marketing Class Help, where innovation meets engagement. Both highlight how meaningful experiences, whether literary or educational, foster deeper understanding and inspiration.
Honestly, this kind of story makes you forget about deadlines (yes, even microeconomics assignment help ones). It’s not just about books—it’s about heart, community, and showing up when it matters. What an awesome way to end the year. Big love to Curiosity House and everyone who made it happen!
