Merry Christmas!

Dear readers,

Christmas being only three days away, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish every single one of you the very best of the holidays.  It is a very special, magical time of year, and I hope all your dreams come true!

I will be spending time with my husband's family (we are hosting dinner this year!), and will get to spend quality time with our daughter and two granddaughters.  As far as I'm concerned, there is nothing more beautiful than to look into a child's face at Christmas.

This is Aidan, the oldest:

And Cerys, our baby (with grandpa):

Hugs and kisses to your family from ours!

What is a Canadian?

Hello friends,

Today, I am re-posting an article which a former co-worker of mine posted on Facebook. When I read it, I was truly moved and wanted to share it with you.  The article reminds me how proud I am to be Canadian!

Once in a while someone does a nice job of describing a Canadian, this time it was an Australian dentist.
