5 Simple Ways to Create a Rustic Holiday Table
Add some fruit! Apples are festive and a great way to add a pop of
color to your table. Write your guests’ names on them with chalk markers to create perfect place cards.
Use Wood Slice Chargers to create a cozy, cabin‑like feel.
Pair them with white plates to make them pop.
Incorporate some holiday warmth into your place settings with warm metals like copper flatware.

Our Homes for the Holidays team – committee, home-owners, designers, retail sponsors, florists, the always able Kids Help Phone staff, and countless
volunteers are privileged to give back to the community at this special time of year.
Our 14th Annual Homes for the Holidays has six distinct homes sensationally decorated for the holidays, certain to inspire and evoke holiday cheer. Themes ranging from glitter and sparkle to cool and sophisticated will inspire with holiday decorating tips and ideas, as well as provide sources where you can purchase many of the items seen in the homes.
We invite you to come explore the endless décor possibilities for your holiday decorating and thus provide the following Home Guide as a sneak peak of what you will encounter on the tour.
The holidays are a happy time – but not for everyone. Sadly, Kids Help Phone sees an increase in young people who are in crisis over the holidays.
Be inspired. Be joyful. And be there for kids.
Bianca Fusco Zanatta Chair, Homes for the Holidays
Our deepest thanks to our sponsors and event attendees, who with their generous financial support, help to ensure that all young people in Canada will access the counselling support they need, in the way they need it most.
Kids Help Phone is always open, providing a safe and trusted place for young people in any moment of crisis or need. We also continue to be innovative and need to stay current with the emerging needs of Canada’s youth which requires a consistent and ongoing financial investment.
Kids Help Phone is a charity. Since our inception in 1989, we have relied on generous donations from individuals and organizations in the community who have shared our vision and supported our mission. No matter when, where or how a young person seeks help, your support starts them on the path to finding it.
On behalf of all of us at Kids Help Phone, thank you to our sponsors and touring attendees for continuing to believe in our cause. And thank you to all of our committed volunteers who do such a great job putting on this wonderful event.

Make sure to take special notice of the
custom made architectural gingerbread
house in the kitchen, generously provided
by the baking genius, Lucie Radcliffe of
Lucie Bakes.
With cozy items from Indigo, the
bedrooms are perfectly dressed for the
season in restful wintry hues, letting
Santa know that all are dreaming of a
white Christmas.
To keep the Christmas “spirit” going,
the handsome oak wine cellar is
party-ready! Take a peek inside the
temperature-controlled room before
stepping outside and returning to 2018!
Imagine the year 1912 as you approach
this fully restored 106 year-old traditional
farmhouse. The rocking chairs welcome
you onto the tranquil front porch where
a glimpse of the Christmas elegance that
awaits you can be seen through the
original bevelled glass windows.
Once inside the festive foyer, you’re greeted
by the unconventional Christmas palette of
orange and chartreuse. The holiday colour
scheme complements the classic neutral
range throughout the house.
Mary Kelava of Orchard Lane Floral Design has set the stage for a glamorous
dinner with a spectacularly layered
centerpiece in a vintage silver punch
bowl, while the antique Arts & Crafts style
buffet holds a grand finale of traditional
Christmas desserts.

Holiday Joy at SouthlandsLike visiting your relatives during the holidays,
prepare your hearts to be full of wonder.
Inspired by the essence of a bonfire, there
is something beautiful and vibrant about
crackling wood and glowing ember that
brings everyone together to celebrate
those quirky traditions.
Open the front door to enter a cozy and
luxurious place for family and friends to
gather to reminiscence the past, cherish
the present company and look forward to
future festivities.
Curated and placed with purpose, the
fireplace in the home is spiced with layers
of chocolate tones and satin brass finishes.
A glow that energizes you while you walk
through the rest of the home and gives the
feeling of the joyous warmth of a festive drink.
The nostalgic scents of cinnamon and
cider starts in the kitchen and permeates
from room to room, paving a path for
your senses.

gates, the soft crunch of French gravel
under foot and the sound of the bubbling
fountain will transport your mind to an
idyllic European holiday. But make no
mistake; you have arrived in West
Vancouver for its inaugural Homes

The grand entrance of this limestone clad
home is draped in long boughs of dark
wintery greens trailing to the ground,
defining your path and beckoning you in.
Once inside you will be struck by the
gorgeous antique French mirror, the
fourteen-foot ceilings and the wood

of the fireplace and the beautifully
wrapped gifts all around.

Kids Help Phone is known for its expertise and continuous innovation.
Our vision is a future where every young person will access the support they need, in the way they need it most.
A Magical Modern Masterpiece Approaching this expansive, yet under-
stated modern gem, you are immediately
struck by a dazzling array of landscape
lights showcasing the many magnolias,
dogwoods and Japanese maples lining
the drive. Inspired by the movement, flow,
energy and natural beauty of the West
Coast landscape, this visual connection
and extension to the outdoors is main-
tained through the use of architectural
elements including large expanses of
glass and retractable patio doors. As
you draw nearer, a captivating display of
festive twinkling lights emanates from
within, welcoming you inside. It is a perfect
backdrop to feature GardenWorks décor
punctuated throughout.
This space is calm, warm and even cozy,
despite its open design. Variegated
bluestone accent walls add visual
interest, as do a variety of woods such as
walnut, oak, ash and fir. The materials,

together with supple leathers, richly
textured fabrics, and multiple layers of
soft, but strong, neutral palettes of white,
taupe, warm grays, silver, bronze and
charcoal are repeated throughout. Tones
and materials are mixed with organic lines
and patterns, soft metallics and high pile
yarns, providing a wide variety of
textures, richness and depth. These
elements are repeated and reflected in
the holiday décor, but perhaps more
dramatically in a multiple tree display,
featured in cohesive harmony over three
levels of the house. Thanks to the
amazing botanic arrangements of West Van Florist, the stunning dining
table-scape will be one to remember!

Celebrate Christmas with Meinhardt
New North Shore location now open: 1350 Marine Dr (Grosvenor Ambleside)
BY CHRISTINE BEYLEVELDT
Celebrating the Holidays with MeinhardtGOOD FOOD BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER.During the holiday season, Meinhardt Fine Food brings communities together through food, heritage and the spirit of giving – with requiem gift boxes stuffed with the flavours of Europe meant to share and meal preparation that lets people spend more time with their friends and families. “The holidays, being a time where we like to spend a lot of time with friends and family, our gift boxes are really designed for somebody who’s wanting to share it,” said General Manager Michael Meinhardt. The Holidays are about coming together with food and family.
The store features many local gourmet food products, made‑in‑house baked goods and specialty items imported from Europe. During the holiday season, goods like Dutch
Speculaas, shortbread, marzipan, stollen, over 50 types of panettone and house made eggnog are available. After 20 years servicing South Granville and later Downtown Vancouver at the Pacific Centre, a third location opened in West Vancouver at 1350 Marine Drive this summer. The Ambleside location is the only company on the North Shore to carry Sugarfina products. Sugarfina, a candy boutique for adults, creates goodies like rosé gummies and artisanal chocolates sourced from around the world, which come in beautifully wrapped packages.
In anticipation of the winter holidays, Ambleside Store Manager Nicolai Boleslawsky has ordered a range of wintry flavours to stock the store’s shelves. “It’s really bringing a European shopping experience to the consumer,” Meinhardt added.
The locals who come to Meinhardt, Boleslawsky explained, have often travelled and come to seek out the flavours of their favourite destinations that they can’t find elsewhere. Like the South Granville location, which has attracted loyal customers over the years, at the Ambleside location he sees many of the same faces and has made a deep connection with the community. The new storefront includes an upscale café and patio, coffee bar and artisanal ice cream with rotating seasonal flavours—in keeping with the holiday spirit of bringing people together over good food.

Roasted Beet & Citrus SaladThis bright, fresh salad—pictured below—is sure to add easy elegance to your Holiday dinner. The Roasted Beet and Citrus Salad features toasted hazelnuts and mint with a lemon dressing. Here’s how to make it at home:
Yields 6‑8 portions
� 1 cup sugar� 1.5 cup boiling water� 3 small sprigs of rosemary� 3 garlic cloves
BEETS� 6 golden baby beets� 6 rainbow baby beets� 6 red baby beets� 1 cup apple cider vinegar
1. Combine pickling liquid into a large jug.2. In the three small pots, divide the beets, placing 6 in each.
Keep the same colours together.3. Divide the pickling liquid into the pots with the beets until beets
are submerged. Place on the stove and simmer on low for about 30 to 40 minutes.
4. Cool the beets in the liquid, then peel. 5. Strain the cooking liquid into a jar or bowl. Cut the beets into
1/4s and return then back into their corresponding liquid.6. Cover and cool in the fridge.
NOTES:*These beets may be prepared up to two weeks before use.**Double or even triple the recipe if you would like to have fresh pickled beets on hand for an easy addition to any salad.***To simplify things, just choose one type of beet; Yellow beets have a much more mellow flavour and won’t stain your fingers during the cooking and cleaning process.
LEMON DRESSING (Whisk all ingredients together)� 4 lemons zested and juiced � 3 tbs. honey � 1 tsp salt

1. Carol at home with family and friends and make sure to capture it on video or take pictures so you can look back on those winter nights filled with festive songs over the years and conjure memories.
2. Look for ornaments to make your home festive, merry and bright. Bake sugar cookies embossed with your family initials and share them with your neighbourhood in an evening soiree. Express your thanks for each other—place family names in a hat and take turns removing each person’s name. Out loud, announce something you appreciate or cherish about that person.
3. Create an ornament every year like a nutcracker, a glass ornament or a pinecone wreath. These can be labelled with the year or photos placed inside.
Cherishing the Importance of Holiday Traditions
4. Go to a soup kitchen and serve a hot meal to those in need during the coldest time of the year. The recipient of your kindness will not only be appreciative, it’s also a wonderful example to show your children the importance of giving back.
5. Fill a shoebox with children’s novelties, and drop them off at the nearest transition house or community center.
6. Serve a traditional dinner and invite a special guest to your table for the holidays. More people than you think are lonely during the holidays with no one to celebrate with. Seek them out and warm those who would not otherwise have a seat at the dinner table.
7. Donate to your favourite charity. You can make this a yearly tradition and family members can elect to choose a different charity or continue to give to the same organization annually.
Every family tradition is unique, and perfection isn’t important. Far more important is the experience you share with your family, the legacy, memories and warmth that you create and bestow on the younger generations. Home is where the heart is and nowhere can it be better expressed and experienced than at this wonderful time of year. Happy Holidays to your family and friends!

Often these traditions demonstrate the importance of a nurturing family, customs, formality, observance and practice, solidifying a sense of belonging to a culture, a community, or a nation. Building traditions still is a wonderful way to connect with people, which authenticate the importance of memories and history. Reminiscences such as making an old family recipe evoke emotions and a sense of comfortable recognition that gives us a sense of place.
What are some ways of creating a family tradition? Here’s where you can start.
FAMILIES AROUND THE WORLD CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH TRADITIONS HANDED DOWN OVER MANY GENERATIONS, SOME WITH ROOT IN ANTIQUITY AND OTHERS BEING CREATED EVERY DAY.
