Last year was the first time I even got something to put up. I've always lived in the dorms at all my other bases so I never would put anything up. Now that I live in a house i figured it was only right haha. of course it has to represent my hometown at that too. lol

I'm guessing "Twas the Night Before Christmas" means nothing to Quebec then? :P

No, that's an English poem. Every culture has their own take on how to do Christmas. Ask your better half how the Brits do it. Spend a lot of of Christmas Eve/Christmas Day in the Pub.

 

[MrsJrotax101]

Strange. We don't drink either...so no pubs.

Père Noël comes while everyone is at mass. Well, traditionally anyway. Right after the mass, as the tradition goes, families start opening the gifts. The cool thing is Santa actually goes to the house (someone at the party dresses up) and gives a gift or two to each kid. Pretty lucky kids! I never got to see Santa at my house. I'm from west Canada so this culture was pretty strange for me too when I first learned about it. The party Christmas Eve goes well into the wee hours of Christmas Day.

Wow! That's really interesting. Thanks for sharing that.

One of my seven fishes. Sauteed calamari. It's melt in your mouth tender and oh so delicious.

Calamari is delicious.. I need to try it this way...

I'm having it with spaghetti tomorrow

I have squid lined up for dinner tomorrow too.


Marla and I were at a friend's church tonight. Their oldest son sang one of the hymns. That's him in the photo.

We just returned. They did a great job.
