December 20, 2020 - 2:30 PM Last week, a Kamloops grandmother lost her holiday spirit, heartbroken that her decorations had been stolen. However, some generous locals stepped up to save Christmas. Nadine Kammerer discovered Dec. 8 that half of her Christmas display was taken overnight. She was devastated. She d made an effort to decorate extra this year because of the COVID-19 health orders prohibiting gatherings at Christmas. It’s heartbreaking, I was just trying to keep the Christmas spirit up, she said. Christmas was finished, as far as I was concerned. Then a few days later, people came knocking. When the first lady came, I cried, she said. I was shocked, I just opened the door and there she was.

Nadine Kammerer discovered Dec. 8 that half of her Christmas display was taken overnight. I just woke up in the morning and they were all gone, she said. It’s heartbreaking, I was just trying to keep the Christmas spirit up. This year was the first time she had put out her six foot tall blow-up Christmas tree, which cost $100. It was taken, along with her big blow-up snowman family and a pair of wooden reindeer given to her by a late family member.
