Christmas 2019

It's hard to believe another Christmas has come and gone (though our holidays are not over yet!) Andrew is like a certified Christmas elf. He loves the hustle and bustle and has been proclaiming for months now that this year was going to be the B.C.E. (Best Christmas Ever). I don't know how we could actually measure that, as there have been some pretty amazing Christmases in our past, but this was certainly a good one!

I entered into this holiday season with the highest of intentions to do less - buy less, worry less, spend less, stress less - and I think I've been mostly successful. We've been enjoying some down-time, a reprieve from our usually full and crazy schedules, and have been spending our days watching cheesy Christmas movies, drinking holiday teas and keeping cozy at home. It's been magical.

Here are some photos from Christmas Eve at our house!


I love this time, this rich season of shared excitement, of anticipation, of going out with a bang. The old traditions that slip away to replace new, slightly modified versions. And tonight, as I write by the light of the Christmas tree, with my two sweet babes cozied up in their matching jammies, I marvel at the beauty of parenthood. It is, by far, my very favourite gift.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friends.  May your days be merry and bright!

  4. The same thing happened with the "Clan Gordon," a torrent-built ship that capsized and sank on its way to China because the ship's master didn't know how to keep the ship stable in different sea conditions. The court decided that the ship wasn't seaworthy because the captain didn't know about the special precautions cheap nursing paper writing service US that needed to be taken to keep the ship stable while it was sailing. Even though the master was trained and had a license, the court said he didn't know the specific criteria for the ship's stability because of how it was built. In the same way, the crew of the "Eurasian Dream" couldn't put out a fire that started on the ship's deck while it was sailing. The fire destroyed the cargo and made the ship a "constructive total loss."
