And now, a few morning words from Gill. Wait, before we get to that, I must say a little something. Yesterday she, unfairly I feel, slagged on Christmas fruit cake. I shall now, as I did in the comments, confess that I enjoy the stuff. I don’t know why it gets such a bad rap. …

Traditions And Memories
Here again is Gill, this time talking holiday traditions and memories. Here come the holidays! Like it or not you will probably go somewhere with your family. You probably also have traditions that have gone back generations, like the sumtuous turkey dinner with all the trimmings, or the joining of hands to say the blessing. …
Aftershokz Headphones Rock!
Man I’m a chatterbox right now. Well, I figure I’d better get it in before I go back to work and hardly have time to think. A little while ago, I had heard about these headphones called Aftershokz. All I knew about them was they were a type of those bone conduction headphones I’d heard …
Some Thoughts on Christmas Eve
Holy crap it’s Christmas Eve and I’m actually at my computer. That never happens…ever I don’t think. So I figured I’d write a big rambling something or other. It’s been a busy season of Christmas stuff, but it still feels like it somehow snuck up on us. We’ve already taken a trip back to Guelph …
Happy Birthday To…Me!
Yes, it really is that time again. I have no idea where the hell this year went but I’ll be honest, I’m glad it’s going. For a lot of people (myself included), 2012 has bitten it pretty hard. I didn’t almost die like in 2011, but that doesn’t mean people close to me didn’t or …
‘Twas The Evening Prior To A Celebration Of Marketing And Religion

Hosiery was meticulously …

Here Comes Another Christmas Card Request
Oh dear. Just took a look at Snopes. I had just been thinking “We haven’t seen a story about someone asking for Christmas cards…” Enter Nathan Norman. The poor little guy, bless his heart, is fighting for his life against brain cancer and asked for Christmas cards…and oh boy, here they come. I’m glad that …

The Reason For The Season?
For a number of reasons, I’m not at all what you’d call religious. I do, however, do my best to embrace the holiday spirit even if sometimes it isn’t the easiest thing to do. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, exchanging gifts, watching Christmas specials, sipping cider (hard or regular) while sitting by …
3 Wishes From Father Christmas
It’s not Christmas time, but why not? It is Christmas Eve and this chap is on a rooftop about to jump off. His wife is leaving him for another man, he has lost his job and he owes thousands of pounds to the bank. Just as he finishes his prayers and closes his eyes, ready …
The Shortest Holiday Wrap-Up Ever!
Well holy crap, it’s another year starting. Each year seems to go faster and faster. Before we know what hit us, Christmas will be here again and I’ll be repeating the same stuff. I don’t think this holiday update will be as huge as they usually are. I’m happy to report that unlike last Christmas, …
