Christmas and a Wedding

Well it's exactly one month today until Christmas. I shall be spending it here in Vancouver this year for two reasons. 1 - I have an every other year thing happening and 2 - I'll be home in Feb for a friends wedding.

I don't mind not traveling home at Christmas. The airports are crazy, the plane is packed and the weather in Ontario is never conducive to driving long distances. On the other hand, it's not much fun being alone here in Vancouver especially knowing that all the good family gatherings are taking place. At the end of the day, unless I plan well in advance the flight prices are enough to discourage anyone from traveling in Canada during the holidays.

My trip in Feb will be fun, but busy as always. I get in early Friday morning and will make my way to Trenton to spend time with friends prior to weddingpalooza on Saturday. Sunday morning I'll make my way to the P-dot area for another friends bridal shower. I'm lucky enough to be a part of that wedding (taking place in June) and since I'll be home we're multi-tasking by having the bridal shower then. I'll likely stay over Sunday night and do some bridesmaidy type things on Monday. Then I'll spend a couple days with the 'rents before heading back to Van City Wednesday night. Perhaps if there's time, and of course weather dependent, I'll squeeze in some other visits.
