Back from the island and all the holiday joy. Had a good time with the family, but we had reservations for the 9pm ferry, got there at 7:30. We waited, and then there was an announcement "Ferry will arrive at the terminal at 9:55." So we didn't board the ferry until 10pm. We got home at 12:30. I hate Ferries. There's no excuse to be late. I mean it's their job, I'm not asking them to build spaceships or make the cure for cancer or anything. Just want them to be on time. No one would take the ferries if they could, everyone knows it's just a pain. It just makes me think a bridge is a great idea.
Besides the hold up we enjoyed ourselves. I hope you all had a great day and evening.
BUT seriously... STOP with the food, I love it so much, but just stop putting it in my face.. I can't help it. I'll eat it...
AND NO MORE CHOCOLATE NEXT YEAR..
Love you all.

Yes... It's True! It's Chris. T. Mas
So here it is. Merry Christmas! I'm so happy to be off of work for a consecutive 3 days. So far the snow hasn't come back for the holiday. I'm a little sad about it. I would like it to snow on Christmas again. So Jenn and I are going to the island on Monday morning to stay with my parents for the evening and back on Tuesday night. I've never traveled ON Christmas day before, but apparently no one does so it shouldn't be too manic getting to Duncan. I just managed to get my last Christmas presents today, a little late I know, but I didn't have any money until today, so I had to budget it out. I love Christmas just not being broke. It seems like I had more money when I was younger to spend on presents. Or maybe I'm just getting cheaper in my old age.
I'm taking the bus now more then I ever had as a kid. I take it to work, and it hasn't been too bad, but the big problem with the bus is that I always want it to come right away. Not like 10 minutes or 30. Whenever the bus driver feels like coming. I know it's not a lot of money to take the bus, but It still slow and I'm just not use to it. I do enjoy not having to sit in traffic though.
Not sure what Jenn and I are doing tonight, but there is wrapping for me to do, and there seems to always be knitting for Jenn to do. So we might just stay in and do nothing. Could be a nice change. It's a little strange that it's a Saturday night though.. doesn't feel like one at all. I hope you all have a wonderful break and Christmas... eat and feel Merry. Just make sure she's drunk enough first.
Hark.. I hear Christmas.

De Dutch panaCanuck house on a Wednesday
Wednesday! My day off. I love De Dutch! Jenn and I came this morning for food and coffee. It's right by our house at 16th and Oak. If you've never been to one I advise it. But really the only good one is ours. I've been coming here for 5 years, and they know what I like to eat and they all know my name. Ha! I sound like a loser, but it's really a nice feeling. We've lived in this area for a few years now, and I love it. I originally come from the North Shore, and when I lived there, I thought Downtown and uptown were a foreign country. Now after living here for a while I can't imagine living anywhere else.
So I finally have all my evenings free... Hmmm so strange. It's a little unnerving having nothing to do. I feel like I'm late for something all the time, and that I'm not getting stuff done. I'm happy to get to see the Canucks struggle to be a hockey team more often now though. They won their game last night with a convincing win over Phoenix. Not exactly a hard team to beat, and our record against them is almost perfect, but still for us to score more then 2 goals a game was a bit of a relief. Everyone played well Morrison had a strong game where he was taking chances and looking more comfortable in his skates then I've seen for a long time. There were strong contributions on the blue line too, especially Bieksa who had a strong game and a hot point shot all night. Bulis also contributed with his 3rd goal in 3 games, and almost added a 4th. Linden who has been under fire a bit this season because he is a poster child for the troubles the Canucks have had this year, had a strong game also. I thing that Trevor had actually had a very strong showing this season despite the paycut, the reduced ice time, and lack of goals. He has been finishing checks, making smart plays, and he's skating well. People forget sometimes what an amazing playmaker, and passer he is. He sees the ice really well. My only wish is that he take the glory sometimes and shoot when he had the chance. He was looking for the pass all night last night, and at times it was a good idea, and others it wasn't the best thing. He needs to use his size and hands to get those pucks in the goal himself and take the glory a bit more.. but maybe that the whole thing about trevor we like, he's always been a shadow to the greatness that a team can be. Just picking his moments and choosing the "right" thing to do.
So maybe a show this Spring. I'm trying to produce something soon, so I'll keep you all updated on the idea soon. Hope you're all well and getting that shopping done! I only got ONE suggestion for gifts from the last blog.. so come on people tell me what your getting people.. I need HELP!
