With the start of advent calendars being opened, festive lights appearing on the shopping streets and office Christmas parties invites landing on desks it certainly feels like Christmas is round the corner. In the last few days, the build up of the festive spirit has being flourishing with Nancy and myself through a variety of Christmas events.
Firstly, last weekend saw us, Bob and Wendy attending the Sidney Santa Claus parade which was quaint to say the least. The parade involved a number of homely decorated trucks, cars and fire engines. We followed this by attending my work Christmas party on Grouse Mountain, where we enjoyed drinks, food, watched ice skaters and admired the amazing view of Vancouver by night - a glittering array of city lights. Last night, we wandered into Gas Town for a friend's birthday party at a Mexican restaurant and the streets were aligned with white lights in the trees - our salsa dancing was probably not that festive but still fun. Today was the Vancouver Christmas parade and Nancy was involved as a volunteer for the Food Bank charity. I took the opportunity to finish off my Christmas shopping and so Christmas is coming ever closer.
