I Guess a BBQ......

is totally out of the question.

In the last 24 hours we have had as many inches of snow. So far the score is Snow 3, Colin 0.

I guess that is part of what Christmas is about, at least for the kids. Myself I think I prefer palm trees and Tequila Sunrises on the beach. When all my Santas look like this, I will know I am in the right place.


This was Christmas day in the Barbados in 2004, and I was having Tequila on the beach.

A friend sent a picture of the palm trees in Tawasen BC, as he sometimes does, just to tick me off. This time they were covered in snow.

So much for global warming!

Anyway friends, Christmas is nye upon us and another year fast approaches. So, to all,

A Merry Christmas and Happy and Prosperous New Year

It is that time of year....Again

I wanted to send some sort of holiday greeting to my friends, but it is so difficult in today's world to know exactly what to say without offending someone. So, I met with my attorney yesterday, and on his advise I wish to say the following:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non addictive, gender neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced with the most enjoyable traditions of religious persuasion or secular practice of your choice with respect for the religious/secular persuasions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.

I also wish you a fisically successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contribution s to society have helped make our country great( not to imply that Canada is necessarily greater than any other country) and without regard to race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms:

This greeting is subject to clarification, or withdrawl. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting. It implies no promise by the wisher to actually implement any of the wishes for him/her or others and is void where prohibited by law, and is revocable at the sole discretion of the wisher. This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.

Sincerely,
Colin

Today we have adorned our non secular, non religious, environmentally friendly bush, with energy conserving bulbs and biodegradeable ornaments.

Ahhhhh, to heck with it

MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR
