Joyous Christmas and Boxing Day

You can ignore my Christmas Eve post, it was written in spite and while I was not feeling well. I have moved passed that once again and had a pleasant Christmas Day. It was a Tradition day with Family. We eventually all got up at about 8am and started our Christmas Morning. It was a good time.

Christmas Turkey Dinner

After we had opened all presents, it was time for brunch. This was my specialty. What did I make? I prepped 2lbs of bacon, a pack of breakfast sausages, scrambled eggs and french toast, but that was not all. The French Toast and Eggs were both made with, wait for it, Egg Nog. I didn’t know what to except when adding this liquid to my cooking, but it turned out to be a marvellous idea. It had a splendid taste and a big hit with family and our two guests.

I’m very blessed to get all that I did for Christmas. My parents went above and beyond for me, and so did my brother. I got a lot of great things. Most notably a 1TB External Hard Drive for storage on the go, an Eye-Fi 4GB SD Card so I can wirelessly transfer photos from my camera to computer, a few pairs of Denver Haynes pants and sweaters, and several other odds and ends.

It seems like it has gone by so quickly and has it. I am a little disappointed I will be heading back to Fort St John on Wednesday. If I were to do it over again I would come back closer to Christmas and leave a little later.

How was your Christmas Day? What did you get? What was most memorable?

This Years Christmas Song

I love my share of Christmas music. I sometimes may come across as the Grinch, but inside I’m a ten year old boy excited for the big day. Every year I seem to have one favourite Christmas song that sticks out, that I play over and over.

This year that song is a traditional one, but redone. It is from the Christmas episode of Glee, sung by two of the cast members.

Baby, it is cold outside.

Off to the staff Christmas Party

I’m about to head off to the Motion Media Christmas party. Am really looking forward to it. Will be good people and lots of laughs. We are having it catered. A very talented Italian lady is going to make us some authentic Italian food, which I’m sure will include pizza, pasta and the works. I’m excited, as I love my food.

As this is the Christmas season, I want to share with you this little song I found:

On the first day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
The Twitter bird in a pear tree.

On the second day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Two Magpie tweets,
And the Twitter bird in a pear tree.

On the third day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Three Brogan blog posts,
Two Magpie tweets,
And the Twitter bird in a pear tree.

On the fourth day of Christmas,
my true love sent to me
Four Facebook apps,
Three Brogan blog posts,
Two Magpie tweets,
And the Twitter bird in a pear tree.

Mornings Like This

We all knew the warmer weather would come to an end here in Yellowknife, and quite frankly I was looking forward to it. Although I do enjoy it being only -5 outside, but while I’m walking around there are things I do miss. The snow on the roads does not stay packed and makes it a mess to drive in and it seems like it is always cloudy.

I can happily say that streak has broken. This Saturday morning, the first in December, I awoke 2 hours later than normal, due to the fact I didn’t have to work, to an very uncommon amount of light coming through my window. I frantically tried to find my phone, to see if I had succeeded in sleeping in for a decent amount of time, but I was surprised to find it only 7am. As I crawled out of bed, it felt that little bit chillier in my basement bedroom and as I glanced out the window I saw the ever so clear blue sky. And at the exact moment I knew it was colder outside than previous days and I knew winter was here in Yellowknife.

One of the beauties of a Yellowknife winter is its pleasant amount of clear sky days. It is like a super charge of life. For those of you who don’t have the pleasure of living in Yellowknife you may not realize how dark it is and how little day light we actually get in the winter. Currently the sun, when it is not cloudy, will come up about 10am and set about 3pm. You can see how someone who works inside with out any windows might not get to see any of the day light. That is why on days like this, where it is so clear and the sun is so bright, I make it a point to get outside and take in as much as I can. I like to think after living in Yellowknife for 13 years I have adjusted myself to the light and darkness.
