Christmas

Close to the wire

December 23, 2009

We got this Christmas floral arrangement last week from Max, Carlie, Andrea and JP in Nova Scotia. Thanks, you guys! It made the house feel Christmassy since I was slack getting the tree decorated this year. The best part? The giant cinnamon sticks up top. The house smells amazing of evergreen  and cinnamon. We just [...]

Reminds me of…

December 20, 2009

These cute little men on Cynthia & Norm’s mantle are: a) Dumbledors from Harry Potter. Just without the tall wizard hats. b) dudes heading over to the jail to bust out The XMAS Bandit. c) Daniel and Henrik Sedin in the year 2050. If you picked the Sedins, so did I! That was my first [...]

Advent Calendar Day 20 – Jackpot

December 20, 2009

Joy sat silently in the Interrogation Room. She pushed the plate of donuts away and sipped the rotten jail coffee. Although it felt like she had been there for hours, she didn’t let her impatience show. She sat with a blank stare. Sargeant Batista walked in. “Joy, we know you’re in on this with The [...]

Advent Calendar Day 19 – Finding Joy

December 19, 2009

Joy sat in her fancy hotel room – it was actually a suite – on a lovely fainting couch, watching the great big flat screen TV and ate bonbons. She had been there for  a couple of weeks now and was enjoying the room service, the shopping trips and the visit with her family over [...]

December 18, 2009

Sergeant Batista blocked off the street with the new P0lice barrier so that nothing could go wrong while taking the wily XMAS Bandit in for booking. Rocky stayed close in order to prevent the bandit from trying to escape. Constable Bailey took the set of keys off his belt. “What are these for?” The blubbering bandit [...]

Advent Calendar Day 17 – Release the Hounds!

December 17, 2009

Sergeant Batista called out to Zuzu, “Go find him! I’ll be right there! I just need to grab my new beret, my walkie-talkie and my new Glock pistol! They’re made in Austria, you know.” Sergeant Batista is a gun aficionado – he loves the portable fire arms. Constable Bailey and Rocky ran through the alley [...]

Advent Calendar Day 16 – The tip off

December 16, 2009

Sargent Batista was clearly run ragged. He’d been answering the XMAS Bandit hotline for hours and was hearing all kinds of  crazy XMAS Bandit sightings like, “I saw him swimming laps at the local swimming pool. I’m sure it was him!” or, “I heard a rumour he’s the guy that plays Santa at the shopping mall.” [...]

Advent Calendar Day 15 – Chillin’ like a villian

December 15, 2009

The XMAS Bandit took a little break from his busy day of thieving. He not only stole BBQ Bill’s bike, but he also helped himself to a fancy wreath he stole from the local mall. And he didn’t shoplift the wreath, he brazenly stole actual gigantic mall decorations. Just for kicks. That’s how he rolls. [...]
