Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our Tropical Vacation History
Some people go every year, some people go whenever they can afford it, and some people will never go to one, thinking they’re fake, inauthentic holidays. Shea and I are in that middle category – though we don’t go every year [edit: I lied – as of January 2020, we’ve been five years in a […]
The Dominican Republic
On our trip next week (next week!), I don’t think we’ll so much as leave our all-inclusive resort for a city tour or a catamaran excursion. But perhaps next time…
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Maid of the Mist, Niagara Falls (Summer 2006)
Shea and I got to Niagara Falls a couple times during the year I spent in Ontario completing my MLIS. This was during our summer visit…
Friday Fun Link – 10 Random Thoughts About Christmas This Year
At our house, Santa doesn’t wrap the presents. This provides a few main advantages – makes things quicker to get set-up if you haven’t pre-wrapped the gifts, prevents awkward “Why does Santa use the same wrapping paper as mommy and daddy?” questions, and allows the kids to get an immediate jolt when they first glimpse […]
The True Meaning of Christmas That Everyone Forgets
Someone on my Facebook posted a rather profound article about how the arguments between “Merry Christmas” and “Happy Holidays” are misguided. The article points out the fact that our Christmas traditions have well-documented roots back to a pagan time, long ago, when people came together for a festival during the longest night of the year […]
Saturday Snap – Our Christmas Card House
It wouldn’t put Clark Griswold to shame but I pulled up to our house the other day and thought it looked like something that might appear on the front of a Christmas card (one you get at the Dollar Store but still…) Having the tree right in front of the window is something different we’re […]
Throwback Thursday – #tbt – @OfficialRPL Christmas Party (December 2009)
Hard to believe that this weekend will be the seventh RPL Christmas Party I’ve attended. Here’s some pics from one of the first ones I attended back in 2009… Pace and his daddy in one of my favourite ever pictures of the two of us… The assembled kids and parents watching a magician perform […]
Music Monday – “Can’t get out of the yard / I’m snowed in with the drifts / No one is coming to open these gifts”
I’m a big believer that the best Christmas songs are the ones with a sense of sadness and melancholy underlying them. Corb Lund has jumped to the top of that category with his latest song. An 80-year old rancher buying gifts for his gifts just in case they show up for Christmas even though they’re […]
Saturday Snap – Candy Cane Lane #yqr
As a follow-up to my post about SparkleTour.ca, Shea and I ended up doing a mini-sparkle tour in the north end last night after running a couple errands. One of our stops was an area called Candy Cane Lane where the residents of the Normanview community are encouraged to decorate their homes for Christmas. One […]
