The Eve is Upon Us

The Eve is upon us. The 23rd involved some last-minute preps, including cooking the Mexican Lasagna that we will share with our little family tonight. I had to drop some parcels off at the kids' for Christmas Day tomorrow and asked if they wanted my to bring them any goodies from Tims. 

Danica: Omg yas. Can I have an iced Capp please 
Jonathan: can i have a chocolate dip donut perchance and a lemonade

It proceeded to snow for most of the day. We had a photo in mind downtown in the evening, but we weren't keen to take the car out with the roads not yet being plowed. So, we just took a little evening walk up and down the street. In keeping with the spirit of the season, I photographed a few of the lighted houses.




One house has a moving display, so I took a short video clip. There was accompanying music that the phone did not pick up well.


Happy Christmas Eve to you.

  7. Merry Christmas to you and your family John.
    No snow here (thank goodness) but it’s only 9.7°c here at our house at 9.25am Christmas Day. Certainly won’t be a shorts and T-shirt day. Might even have to turn the heating on rather than the AC

  9. Simple, snowy, and warm in spirit, with family favourites, small errands of care, and quiet walks that let the season speak for itself through softly lit houses.
