FROM OUR HOUSE TO YOUR HOUSE...'A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS'

Well, here we are and it's another Christmas Eve already.  It seemed to come up very fast this year but then again, time seems to be going faster than ever these days.

 OUR HOUSE WAS LOOKING QUITE SNOWY WHEN PHEEBS AND I ROLLED OUT THIS MORNING

 OUR GOOD NEIGHBOR MONICA'S BURGUNDY BENCH

 OUR PARK'S MAILROOM

 A FEW NICE HOMES AND PROPERTIES ALONG THE WAY

We had about an inch and a half of snow overnight so everything was white again when we got up.  Temperatures were soon above the freezing mark and the snow became crunchy underfoot.  Lots of dripping going on as the snow slowly began melting today.  And tonight we have rain on the way.  

 PHEEBS AND I TOOK OURSELVES OUT FOR A WALK ALONG THIS BUSH LANE

 TRACKS IN THE SNOW AND THEY WERE NOT PHEEBS

 I THINK A DEER MAY HAVE TAKEN A BITE OUT OF THIS APPLE ON THE GROUND

 PHEEBS AND I HAVE BEEN TO THIS WOODLOT CAMPSITE BEFORE BUT NOT IN WINTER

A WEE WINTER'S TABLE FOR TWO

 IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY YOU CAN SEE AN OLD IRON GATE

 'OKAY, WATCH ME JUMP  INTO THE JEEP DAD'

 AND THERE SHE GOES

The bulk of Kelly's family live in the Kitchener/Cambridge area and she is planning on heading over there on boxing day Sunday to see four out of five of her children, their spouses, and grandkids.  They will be having a family gathering at her daughter's place.  She plans to stay over and head home Monday. With all those people gathered together for a big turkey dinner Sunday afternoon it wouldn't be a fun thing for Pheebs so I will be staying home with her.  I don't mind, I'm quite happy to spend my time at home with my best Pal:))  And here's a catchy little Christmas song that I like to play for myself every Christmas Eve.  Driving Home For Christmas by Chris Rea.

Shortly before Christmas, a business man was anxious to get home. The business trip had been grueling and he was not in a particularly good mood. The airport loudspeakers blared Christmas carols he was sick of hearing. He thought their decorations were tacky. The worst decoration, he thought, was the plastic mistletoe hung over the luggage scale.  Being in a grumpy mood, he said to the woman at the counter, "You know, even if I weren't married, I wouldn't kiss you."  "That's not what it's there for," said the attendant. "It's so you can kiss your luggage goodbye."

Q. How is the Italian version of Christmas different?
A. One Mary, one Jesus, and 32 Wise guys.
Q: How come you never hear anything about the 10th reindeer "Olive" ?
A: Yeah, you know, "Olive the other reindeer, used to laugh and call him names"
Q: What was so good about the neurotic doll the girl was given for Christmas?
A: It was already wound up.

When you consider Christmas, there are four stages in your life:-
1) You believe in Santa
2) You don't believe in Santa
3) You are Santa
4) You look like Santa

Christmas is just plain weird. What other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree in your living room eating candy and snacks out of your socks?
