I can hear my Dad singing in church when I hear “O Come All Ye Faithful”. He loved to sing.
“Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas” - Judy Garland version and “I’ll Be Home For Christmas” both get me teary.
I don’t go to church but I do go to a carol sing-along that I really love.

Dragonfly has been great for us. I know there are issues in other areas but ours are great.

Very good tips! If you have a passenger they are your spotter. And remember yes you want to avoid hitting a deer. But you want to avoid a head-on collision more.

Nothing wrong with a gift bag. Get some matching tissue at Dollarama and tie on gift tags. You will be fancy!

Someone in this house has a similar talent with wrapping. 🙂 He gets really inventive now and we have had many good laughs Christmas morning.
I worked retail so I am pretty pro.

Very fitting to have turkey and sticky toffee pudding I think. The grammas just have lots of love to give.

Yup. I am trying. That is partly why I did things ahead.
The good thing is that my oldest will be home for actual Christmas for the first time in 3 years. So all four of us will be together. I know that will help.

Second without Dad.
Tough couple of years.
