We have no fewer than five Advent calendars in the house. Two are Kinder chocolate ones, sent by my mother-in-law, one is a cloth one that is utilized only as a calendar and not as something particularly fun, one is a Star Wars Lego calendar which has led me to realize after a conversation with […]
The very best way to spread Christmas cheer is by singing loud for all to hear.
December 11, 2011 by
I went out for a few hours, came home, and found that my husband had wrapped all the Christmas gifts! It was the best Christmas gift ever! It instantly made me feel like giving HIM a big Christmas gift, if you know what I’m saying. Voluntary gift wrapping is even sexier than voluntary dishwasher unloading. […]
Santa Baby, Please Don’t Bring Me Harem Crops, or an Elf on the Shelf
December 7, 2011 by
This is the view looking out my back door this morning: Notice how difficult it is to see where the snow on the garage ends and the sky begins? My plan this morning was to take a trip to Superstore, but the snow and the thought of pushing a giant cart through the windy, unplowed […]

The question was answered as I finally manoevered past the firetruck filled with men cleaning […]
These are a few of my favourite things

Every year, my very lovely friend Beck writes a satirical review of all the items on Oprah’s Favourite Things For The Holidays. It’s one of MY favourite things, reading her review. This year, she did not stop there, no, not Beck. She instead created her very own dream team of bloggers to write about their […]

Okay, okay. I wrote my last post and then had an avalanche of people ask me WHY John Cusack wasn’t included. Even my husband – my husband! – read the post and asked why John Cusack wasn’t on the list. Here’s the truth: I forgot about poor John Cusack. Poor Lloyd Dobler. I blame the […]
