Christmas Everyday

Season's greetings, one and all. Well, I tell you: the last few weeks, matter of fact my whole time in Calgary (and Canada), has been magical. I've had the best of luck imaginable. Working hard, I've been, too. Two jobs, some long hours and money coming back in. My car, the mighty goose is now registered and insured and on the road; still not paid-for entirely, as yet, though that day will come. She's a bloody ripper, too.
       I was living under the roof for a while of Isaac Hill and Yazid, awesome people and good times. Really good base camp. Then the landlady found out about me and I had to get out of there. Then, as by chance I met some people, who's first words to me were "Hello friend, do you happen to like organic vegetables?" I said, "Sure," Then we all went and pillaged the bins out the back of a greengrocer's store caleed Planet Organic. Found so much fresh stuff: mangoes, tomatoes, yams and avocados, etc., etc. A rainbow of stuff mad to waste. Then we went to their place, just up the street from Isaac & Yazid's, and had a big cookoff and drank some wine and mead. It was the day after I finished up my sewers-work with BB Services.
       It just so turned out that they had a room available, and, after I had gone back to Edmonton and picked up the goose, I moved on in. It's been an awesome time with these guys, too. Kindred spirits and good people. They eat well and even made up their own batch of cider, which we bottled and partook of the other night. I guess you could say we're all on the hippy side of things. It's been good to tap back into this way of life -- especially before I go up and get into the oilfields in the newyear.
       All kinds of other craziness has been happening as well, like winning a $250 flight voucher to anywhere at my work christmas party at the Best Western. It's just been ridiculous and ever-humbling. I must be doing something right, I tell you. Going for a weekend away at the mountain of Revelstoke for New Years. By the name of the place alone, it's going to be wild. Yes there vill be revelry, (revelations?), and stokededness. Huzzah! Also just so happens that Isaac and Yazid AND my new housemates had been planning to go there for ages. Just meant to be, I guess. It's all just meant to be. Magic in the air, my friends.
       Christmas was really nice as well. Bit of wine, cider, mana and Mother Nature with Nick whom I live with. Good to catch up with people back home and across the world and Mum called, too. She's looking well, rosy cheeked as always, haha what a go-getter! To all of you, season's best greetings. May you feast, love, drink, be merry and watch cricket. Just go out and spread the love; Feliz Navidad!
