Winter wonderland

Yesterday, Toronto saw about 30 centimetres of snow. It was one of the biggest snowfalls we’ve had in years, and many residents in southern Ontario woke up to piles of the white stuff engulfing their vehicles, mounting their driveways and most of all, giving them a great excuse to take a day off work.

The windchill made it feel like almost -25C, and I tried my best to stay warm indoors. Luckily for me, Thursdays and Fridays are my days off. But this morning, I took a walk down the snowy pathways, and took a few photos to remember the storm, even though it had mostly dissipated.

Christmas time is near

Well, it’s almost upon us again … my most favourite time of the year: Christmas time!

Every year, we have a tradition. We decorate our Christmas tree during the annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade. However, we switched things up this time around; we put our tree up to coincide with our local parade.

For our tree trimming “party,” my cousin stopped by with some very tasty holiday cookies – that she baked, I might add – and we ate a traditional Swiss Chalet Canadian lunch. We also drew names for our cousin Secret Santa gift exchange.

Only 39 days left. Just saying!
