Merry Christmas


I’ve never been into Christmas. I‘ve hated the hype and capitalism since I was a kid. In fact, I never opened my presents until after Christmas dinner when I lived at home. It drove my parents crazy.

Christmas was my dad’s favourite day. Since he died Christmas has been held at my house and I try to honour that day to the best of my ability. Merry Christmas dad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZwI5wXU1z4

To all my friends and family, Merry Christmas. I want to give a special tribute to my Nemo’s. The best is yet to come. Red you rock. Kim, thanks for picking up where we left off, I’m not sure how I survived without you. Jedi, I have no words to define what you have brought to my life, you are my saviour. Hilary you are my light and my fortress and my reason for being.

“Somewhere out there beneath the pale moonlight, someone’s thinking of me and loving me tonight”...and that truth is what makes today Christmas for me ;-)

Merry Christmas one and all!

I thank God for returning you to my life this year....you truly are the greatest gift, my best friend, my chosen sister, my faithful confidante, my truest advocate, my insightful advisor.....I love you and am truly grateful that you and I never missed a beat in spite of missing years!!!!! 831

It's Christmas Morning & my teenagers are still deep in "visions of sugarplums"...all is quiet. Great time for contemplation provoked by your words. Shelley & I were looking at photos of my childhood the other night & there you were. I cannot even recall now when we began; that first "hello". What I do know is that people come into & out of our lives for a reason & that some impact us more than others. Jo, you have been my smile & that little spark of impishness.We tend to weed out the obscure or boring memories of our past; funny how so many memories of you are vivid & still make me laugh - a testament to your crazy, live life to the fullest character. I will forever keep my box full of "Jo" safely tucked away in my heart. We still have many more moments needed to fill it up, Just know that you are one of my most valued friends and have been so much of the joy in my life! Like Sting said "Every Little Thing You Do Is Magic"
