We are noticing a lot of discussion on Social Media about ordering dinner in for Christmas. Is this something you are considering? The comments we are seeing include how difficult it is going to be to get together this holiday, but we can still support local business.
If you are considering a catered meal for Christmas, here are some Fraser Valley catering companies to consider:*
