It’s truly
shocking that Christmas is less than a month away. There are festive decoratins in
all the shops and malls around town. Several places I visited over the weekend were
already playing Christmas carols. I guess it’s just that time of year. The
holiday season is one of my favorite times of the year. People generally seem
happier (probably because soon enough everyone’s going to be getting a much
needed break over the holidays) and in a celebratory mood.
So I was
pretty excited to hear that Edo Japan is doing something extra special this
year. To celebrate the holiday season, they’re going to be sending around Edo
Elves to help spread the holiday cheer with their good deeds from Nov 28 – Dec 21.
The Edo Elves can be seen sporadically throughout the city performing good
deeds to make the holiday season easier and a little less stressful.
Edo Japan is
also helping the Calgary Food Bank to provide food and resources to those in
need. Together, both organizations are working to reduce hunger in communities
in which they serve and make the holiday season simply better. For every $25
gift card sold, Edo Japan will donate $5 to a local food bank, in hopes of
raising more than $15,000.
