If you’re in need of some festive holiday music to listen to as you gather with family and friends today, how about this nine hour version of the 12 Days of Christmas? To be clear, I do not suggest that any of you actually listen to this. It’s terrible. I made it to day 14 …

Recipe For A Fabulous Holiday
Gill is back to share her recipe for a happy holiday season. Hers involves a lot less liquor than mine does, but it’ll work. Hi friends. It’s that time again, and one of the big things around this time is time honored recipes. They might be generations old, like your 5 times oma’s recipe for …
Santa Claus Is Hitting The Ground
I remember watching Santa Claus skydive into a pole and tree last year and thinking to myself gees, some of those kids might need a little therapy. But while I’m sure that was probably rather traumatic, I’m also fairly certain that it has nothing on this incident from 1996. Santa Claus was ready to fly …
Twas The Night Before Christmas, House Of Commons Style
I pay decent attention to the goings on in Parliament, yet somehow I had never seen Liberal MP Rodger Cuzner read his annual Christmas poem. But now I have, and it’s awesome. With so much division in the world, sometimes it’s nice to be reminded that things don’t suck all the time and that now …

Love Is A 47-Year-Old Christmas Present
It appears the mystery of the 47-year-old gift has been solved, and it was captured on video! I guess the articles from last year made their way to Vicki Allen, the ex girlfriend who handed him the gift and dumped him, and they reconnected and decided to open the mystery gift for a charity. Thank …
The Cat’s Thoughts On Your Christmas Tree
I came across this song the other day, and chuckled. I thought of many cats our family had over the years. Thankfully none of them ruined our Christmas tree or did too much ornament damage, but I think we learned to strategically place breakable ornaments too high for them. Many times, we would come out …

You Can’t Spell Christkindl Without Christ
It’s not every day I agree with church people on something, but it’s hard to argue with them here. A controversy has surfaced from Kitchener’s Christkindl Market after a group of performers say they were silenced for talking about Jesus. Pastor Jacob Reaume had to shout his message at the opening night of the market …

One Christmas Down
How’s everyone’s weekend going? Ours has been rather Christmasy. Today we’re heading downtown to take in some of the Christkindl Market. Today is the last day, so if you haven’t been yet or want to go again, get moving. It’s open between 10 and 4 today. It’s a great way to get some unique Christmas …
Computerized Christmas Shopping In 1962
I wasn’t alive in 1962, so I have no idea whether this computerized shopping assistant was considered amazing at the time. But sitting here in 2018, it seems like quite a bit of rigamarole to go through just to get a few gift ideas. I always have at least a person or two on my …
