Settling in

Outside is a cool 7degrees today, this doesn't feel like my kind of Christmas at all. Although clearly somethings are a little different this time round, there is still that familiarity of the season. People outside scrambling around trying to buy last minute presents, children everywhere talking about the imminent arrival of good ole Saint Nick and public transport is still a nightmare. My prep for Christmas this year is going to be very low key. A few little pressies still to buy but mostly just taking it easy. Last night was special though as i went to Stanley Park for the Bright Nights. Lots of beautiful Christmas lights throughout the park made for a great night.

Christmas day itself will be spent mostly with good friends. I am however also volunteering at a homeless shelter from 11-4pm, something which I've always wanted to do especially on Christmas day. Help share the joy of Christmas!http://lookoutsociety.ca/Contact-Us.html


Anyway, the past 2 weeks have been awesome. Some highlights include;

• Seeing it SNOW for the very first time in Sooke and getting to experience it with friends
• Driving around Ash and I on the opposite side of the road ;)
• Hitting up all the sites- Granville Island, Stanley Park, Gastown, Chinatown, Robson Street etc
• Hiking through Lynn Canyon Park
• Wrestlefest 2010 and
• The Three amigos on the drink again

Playing on the side of the road as i saw it snow for the first time EVER!

The next week brings some more fun. After a full on Christmas day, Boxing Day will mostly be spent on my ass as Devon is taking me Snowboarding. I'm imagining though its going to be pretty different to my usual 'boarding' in the sand dunes on Moreton Island.

New York is coming up and the New Year. Things are looking good!!!!!!!!
Actually I'm after some help from you all. I'm looking at completing some challenges whilst travelling around. Please hit me up with some interesting things to do... go on, make it good.

Catch ya
