I suppose that I could have mentioned that City Hall is a beautiful early 19th century structure which was Canada's first parliament building and that it is all lit up, and that there is a huge tree beside the rink all dressed up of course, and that the whole thing is a hop, skip and a stagger from the inner harbour where the brig St. Lawrence is all lit up, and that just across the water is Fort Henry, part of a UN World Heritage Site, and that it too is all decorated, and that Clarence St. running from the Square to Lake Ontario still has its original cobblestones, and .... had enough yet?

Ok, but there are times when I would rather climb the Coppice ... often it is the simple things that are the best ... I think that the best Christmas show I ever saw was the Northern Lights in Ile a la Crosse, Saskatchewan. Or the amazing star show one gets away from the cities, and in large areas of our country where there are hardly any people. A couple of years ago, close to Christmas, I and a friend took a walk up Fort Henry hill; we had a couple of bags of apples, and we fed the deer. Simple but so satisfying.

Well, we are getting our snow ... up to 10cm of the fluffy white stuff today ...

Still snowing ... big fluffy white flakes .... downtown is looking a lot like a Christmas Card ... and the plows and sanders are out in force so that Kingstonians, possibly the world's worst drivers, don't kill or maim themselves in the afternoon commute.

I started writing my christmas cards the other day still got to post them though.

Although I am a prolific letter writer, sender of e-mails/faxes - I still take great pleasure in sending out Christmas cards every year to my friends and family members around the globe.

I do not subscribe to the commercial aspects of Christmas but decorating the house for the holidays is a must. During a recent basement reorganization and rehab, my husband unearthed one of his old toys from the early 1950's......Roy Rogers' Mineral Town, complete with action figures. We decided to place it under our Christmas tree this year. I just took a photo and turned it into my avatar.

Hey, I just knew you were the card and tree type. Will see if we can arrange to send you a massive outbreak of Canadian Arctic air for the Season along with some of the white stuff.
