Christmas is just around the corner

It's hard to believe that the last time I blogged with the election week... especially considering the political situation in Canada right now...but enough about that, if you want a political commentary, I'm sure you can find many of them across the web.

This week in my life the focus hasn't been on politics as much as it has been getting ready for Christmas. Mom and went to Home-hardware and bought a bunch of new LED Christmas lights. It was fantastic, they did a light exchange with Maritime electric where if you brought in two sets of old, less energy efficient lights, they would give you one free set of LED lights, plus they had a bunch of coupons for LED lights! I'm so excited to put them up!

Talking about lights, on Friday night mom and I joined friends Linda, Marjorie and Glenn for the Lights Across Canada event. This is when we dress up from the 1800's and lead a candle lit walk up historical Great George Street, at the top of the street we meet Santa, and after a short ceremony he lights up the big Christmas Tree at the Provincial Building. It is always a really fun night!

Then on Saturday the City was a buzz of people watching and waiting for Santa to arrive at the annual Santa Claus Parade. Here are a few pics of us watching and waiting for the parade to begin. Unfortunately my battery ran out before the parade began... so I didn't get any pics of Santa, or Corey onthe Ocean 100 float.

Well, over the next few weeks we will be busy rehearsing for the Christmas Cantata at Church (Dec 21 at 10:45 if anyone wants to come), buying presents, decorating and just getting ready for the celebration of Christs birth! I love Christmas!
