I&#39;d eat that all year if they&#39;d sell it to me (or if I had a freezer big enough to keep it all in).

It has to do with watching now grown kids struggling with assembly instructions, stickers, and multiple plastic parts as I keep the children busy with &quot;linking logs&quot; the same way my mom and dad used to have late-night assembly projects on Christmas Eve so many years ago. :)Baroquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08165802622322008923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22154407.post-68268896602269858512009-12-25T20:10:45.048-05:002009-12-25T20:10:45.048-05:00I hope your Christmas was even more than you imagined it would be. The excitement and the new layers of family memories and the food and drink and the afterglow...this is the stuff of life.<br /><br />Tomorrow the World Juniors start and that will be worth following. What passes for The Edmonton Oilers will resume what they imagine is playing hockey, and that too will be closely followed but without the sense of hope that many of us began the season with.<br /><br />Thanks for this year&#39;s additions to your great blog, Pat. You earn your fans&#39; eyeballs multiple times per week and it&#39;s all worth re-reading long after the games themselves have been forgotten.

Just a look of pure mischief in those big blue eyes. At least she got her mom&#39;s side of the gene pool for looks, because from what I&#39;ve read over the years it looks like she&#39;ll develop dad&#39;s attitudes.<br /><br />Dinner for 16 tonight on the Ukranian side (12 meatless dishes and all that), and 16 for Christmas day tomorrow. Follow that by a 12-hour pilgrimmage out to Banff for my yearly offering of my body to the trees of the Rocky Mountain ski hills. Christmas season always seems a little on the rushed side for me, but I woulnd&#39;t have it any other way.<br /><br />Merry Christmas all.doritograndehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14497613230666426389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22154407.post-75567924936644861132009-12-24T11:31:43.267-05:002009-12-24T11:31:43.267-05:00Thanks Jordan, Merry Christmas. And to you as well, Colin.<br /><br />Best wishes of the season Brad and Cory, I always enjoy your comments. And of course Baroque I appreciate yours as well although sometimes wonder what a girl like you is doing in a place like this. ;)<br /><br />And Brian, best wishes for a great Christmas and a great new year.

It&#39;s a holiday for the kids for sure, and I expect my nephew will run me ragged building stuff with his Lincoln logs and blocks and chasing the dogs and cats around. :)<br /><br />Merry Christmas to all, and safe travels.Baroquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08165802622322008923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22154407.post-5015605646983049742009-12-24T03:27:02.457-05:002009-12-24T03:27:02.457-05:00Just catching up on your 12 days of Christmas series (computer issues recently so fell behind).

I have to say that I found your blog because a girl I work with&#39;s husband has the same deal with the Score (does anyone here still call it Headline Sports like me every once in a while?) for the Canucks. <br />I have learned and laughed for 4 of 5 months now. Without this blog and the way the Oilers are playing, it could just as easily be tears.<br />To all a good night.Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12500395052929639241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22154407.post-83646705246920635072009-12-23T18:51:14.436-05:002009-12-23T18:51:14.436-05:00Merry Christmas to all of you.
