As friends on the mainland get hammered by yet another storm, we have, miraculously perhaps, been missed by the latest greatest. This is in fact wonderous because although we are reasonably sheltered here, over the last few weeks and countless storms, we have endured 3 1/2 feet of snow, flooding and fences falling over. Oh, yeah, the wonderous part? We're on the East Coast of Vancouver Island.... adjacent to BC's Mainland - AKA the mildest place on the PLANET. For those of you who haven't yet seen Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth"; GO. RENT IT. Do what you can, when you can. This is NOT fiction, folks!
On a lighter note... we've FINALLY put our tree up! There's one week left of school! Santa's coming (well, I've been MOSTLY good). I find that I always resist decorating for the holidays, at least until the last minute. Why? My sister's birthday is on December 20th and my Mom never decorated until after her birthday... so that she could experience a birthday. Her biggest pet peeve? People that give her birthday/christmas gifts COMBINED.
What about you? Do you like the holidays? What/how do you celebrate?
