Music Monday – “Christmas Eve will find me/Where the love light gleams/I’ll be home for Christmas/If only in my dreams”

I can’t believe I’ve never posted this song before – one of the most absolutely beautiful, heart-wrenching Christmas songs of all-time. And so appropriate these days too. We’re extremely excited for our first Christmas in our new house of course. But it also comes with mixed emotions knowing that a decision we made only two […]

Friday Fun Link – How Black Friday Shopping Habits Are Changing

I admit that between things we need for our new house and the usual Christmas pressure to “buy, buy, buy!”, I had a fairly loaded Amazon cart on the go. But I read this article and just couldn’t do it – I mean, I know most corporations treat workers poorly and do anything in pursuit […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Traditions (December 2007)

Feeling sentimental knowing we won’t have Christmas here this year, I was looking through my oldest photos for a picture of one of our first Christmases at our current house. Unfortunately, since we bought our house in 2004 and our first digital camera in 2006 (and all our old-school photo albums are in boxes somewhere), […]

Why Is Easter A Moving Target?

There’s an explanation why the date of Easter moves around but yeah, if it’s supposed to commemorate the day Jesus was resurrected, you’d think that would be not a lot of room for debate. Anyhow, I’ll put myself in the camp of people who prefer it in late April instead of March. Hoppy Easter!

“It Smells Like Piss Water and the Starch From Noodles Boiling”

So after a month or so of pretty heavy holiday season indulgence with a variety of delicious craft beers, I’ve switched to this delightful “dad beer” for the foreseeable future. Yum?

Beer Me – Advent Beer Calendar Edition

Beer Me! is a YouTube series where a couple hipsters from BC drink half a dozen of a certain kind of beer (they claim in an hour) rating each on things like artwork, taste, reliability, etc. while getting progressively more wasted. (They also occasionally do a bottle of hard stuff.) There have been some funny […]

Five Topics of The Holidays

I realised that our social calendars this holiday season were as full as they’ve been in years due to a little miracle called “Pace Gets His Home Alone & Babysitting Certification”. So compared to other years where we had the hassle and expense of lining up babysitters if we wanted to go out, this year, […]

Had an elf helping me with the sad job of packing up the tree and decorations and Christmas books for another year…

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Christmas Over The Years

I whipped together this montage fairly quickly right before Christmas to show everybody on Christmas Eve. It’s not my best work – my first attempt ended up with the music I picked not working properly. Then I tried to use YouTube’s Creative Commons music but couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to […]
