Hockey And Christmas

Hey guys, here are some happenings around our house lately. We have discovered through trial and error that giving presents for the holidays puts way too much stress on the buyer and that we would rather do without. We have also decided that buying another fake Christmas tree (Mums allergic to the real ones) would only lead to lack of storage issues and extra sweeping (shudder) of pine bristles. So we have decorated a houseplant which we mounted on a night table because it wasn't tall enough. I have made the observation that, our fake fig tree was probably closer to what they had on the first Christmas then our Canadian winter pine trees.

I am in grade nine at the moment, trying to get ready for high school and generally being terrified of it. I also became a vegetarian in September, which mom has been a super star with. She keeps making really good meals that everyone loves (except Matt, he doesn't seem to like anything other then grilled cheese). Dan is succeeding as usual, having fun at school and doing really well. Kate is really happy her exams are over and is visiting her friend Anna in Saint johns for a few days. The boys are playing hockey in the new net Mum got them. Last night Dad took them to an exhibition hockey game. They throughly enjoyed turning the goal light on and watching our team push our goalie out of our net so the other guys could score. Needless to say we won 11-1.
