We got our first snowfall in Vancouver. It puts me in the Christmas spirit! This year is going to be way better then last year.We get to celebrate with our adult children. Last year they weren't allowed in our house because we were locked down because of the virus. My big worry is the new variant its spreading in Canada … all I care about that we can be together on Christmas day. We are going to a friends for dinner this weekend. We are all fully vacinnated. One friend wasnt included because her and her husband arent vaccinated. There will be 5 other people so 7 total .. its a Christmas get together we have done every year except last year. We also are going to Van Dusen Gardens which is all decorated with over 1,000 000 lights. Its so pretty . You have to pay to get in and you have to be fully vaccinated. We are also going to LaFarge lake that is decorated with lights.its a way better year,this year. Last Christmas everything was cancelled. We got our turkey for Christmas day the prices are crazy they want $85 for a 10 pound bird. Its because of the floods we had in this province a lot of livestock drowned .

What a great question - because it allows you to imagine that this crazy Groundhog Day might someday end. May I ask us to all to choose to think of others and make choices for the common good? Could I ask us all to stop letting fear prevent us from being compassionate? These are the crossroads that we stand upon and will be a deciding point for the future: Will we choose to remember this time as one of heightened care for others? Or distrust? I choose care.
