We decorated early this year, once Remembrance Day was over we started putting up the Christmas stuff. The window theme for the downtown this year is “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree”, so we’ve got Santa Homer playing drums, some snowmen will be on guitars and mic and we still need to get a tree [...]

What she Needs can’t Always be Bought

Posted on January 5, 2009 - Filed Under Holidays, Life | Leave a Comment

It’s hard to buy a Christmas gift for a Chinese woman, they have a lot of superstitions. For example, I know she needs a new pair of shoes, but I can’t buy them for her. Might as well give her a set of Rimowa luggage, it has the same meaning. Giving shoes [...]

Buying a generic gift, wrapping it and stuffing it under the tree is pretty easy. While any gift should be appreciated it, sometimes it’s nice to give personalized gifts to the special people in your life.

Easy Xmas Gifts

Posted on November 3, 2008 - Filed Under Holidays | Leave a Comment

It’s a good thing some people are easy to buy gifts for or I’d never get my shopping done. Photo holiday cards are a good way to take care of distant relatives, just buy a picture frame, print out some new pics of the family and mail ‘em out. Write a little update [...]

Turkey Day Approaching

Posted on October 5, 2008 - Filed Under Food, Holidays | Leave a Comment

Thanksgiving was never much of a big deal in my family. We’d have a big meal though of course, usually with turkey but sometimes just ham or chicken. I don’t really see what all the fuss is about with turkey though anyway, it tends to be quite dry compared to chicken and we [...]

Seafest Coming

Posted on July 10, 2008 - Filed Under Entertainment, Holidays, This Town | Leave a Comment

Seafest starts this year on July 16th. One of the really interesting things I’ve noticed this year is that they’re not going to allow people to park on Main Street during the parade. The primary reason is cited as being for safety reasons, so that emergency vehicles will still have room to travel [...]
