Christmastime in the City

Strings of streetlights, even stoplights blink a bright red and green.
Last Sunday, a group of us, instead of going to our stake choir concert, we went to the provincial legislature (or lege) so enjoy the lights. I felt much more Christmassy after last weekend. Between baking to my hearts content, singing carols at the international airport, Christmas songs at church, and this, well. My heart overflows with excitement and joy.

I’m sorry Melody. This picture was just too good.



Better than this one. My initial thought was to just chuck this one but then I noticed that the focus and color are just perfect. And really, what is not funny about a picture of an elf’s bum.



The crèche in the lege pedway,



Okay I do have strange friends. Apparently Natalie here can make her stomach growl at will. Here she is demonstrating.



We also serenaded each other from lofty... lofts.



And then there’s the pretty lights.


And the pretty tree.


This one’s for you Locke.


We wish you a merry Christmass. What’s a figgy pudding?


And aparently temporary blindness is really fun. I’ll have to try that sometime.


I am going to have a tiring and merry week. And then a relaxing and merry week. I hope you have a merry week as well.

Merry Christmas!

What happy, cozy Christmas Good Times! Now I feel that I too have experienced the Christmas season Edmonton style.

I have a magazine that lists some common misheard Christmas Carols. My favorites were "Police have my dad" ("Feliz Navidad") and "So bring us some frigg'in pudding". Delightfull, as are your pictures.
