happy holidays...

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving, i find myself missing Canada, more this year then i ever remember in any of my previous years abroad. Lots of reasons i am sure. Starting with the family and the friends that we have there and the turning of summer to autumn.

This weekend i went shopping with Oliver, the worst part of living in a country that doesn't have a harvest celebration such as Thanksgiving (October or November) is that ... and i swear this is true - we were listening to Silent Night and other carols while we shopped! Now i am no Grinch, but October 6th?? No lie, the odd house has their lights up and i even heard a firecracker in the distance ensuring that Christmas must be right around the corner.
