Twas the the night before our Day family Xmas and all thru this pigsty known as our house, I realized just how much STUFF we have..... I mean ridiculous amounts of STUFF...... overwhelming amounts of STUFF...... with a lovely Christmas tree overflowing with STUFF to come. So starting then and there I enlisted the help of Jasper and collected three full boxes of toys and such to be put away to be sold at a later date with all proceeds going to Team Finn and the Ride to Conquer Cancer. I think we will make this a new year round tradition - before we add to our STUFF, we will take away some STUFF to give to charity or the recycling depot etc. Hoorah!
But back to the Xmas festivities. Last year you might recall, after the great snowfall stranded most of our immediate and extended family in North Van we had one of the best Christmases I can remember. And why? It wasn't about the STUFF, it was about having 4 generations of family and multiple families are gathered under our rather small roof - it was WONDERFUL. So we had another treat this year - along with hosting the Day family Xmas gala, my cousin James and his family and my Aunt Sue and cousin Kylie also came over for a lovely supper and a day-late (ha ha) celebration of Kieran's 2nd birthday. Again, so much family and SO WONDERFUL!!
Wed morning we are off to the cabin for round two - 4 days of snow, eating, drinking, more eating and more STUFF : )
