Halifax parade of lights

Chris and I went into Halifax to visit with mum and see the parade of lights x2. A good time was had. 

There was a light tank. But I didn’t know until after it was mostly past us. 

Canada Post had a good float. 


We all had a good time. 

Parade of Lights

AKA Christmas or Santa Claus parade. We were 10 minutes late and missed the whole thing! Well, not exactly the whole thing - we caught up to the tail end as they were playing Christmas tunes and standing around the old Tannenbaum in Market Square. It was cute like this:

So we went for a glass of wine at the wine bar and bookstore. Met some nice people. And we’re just perfectly timed to see the fireworks.

A nice night out, back home by 7:40! 

Swag

One of the local churches is in need of a new roof and did a fundraiser last night. You could make a swag for your door. 

The ladies had gathered extravagant amounts of greenery and pine cones and it was a lot of fun. Perfect for a Monday. 

A little bit of holiday bling

Chris and I went to a bunch of really fun Christmas fairs this weekend. We got a few Christmasy accessories which, together with the beautiful mirror that mom gave us that’s been sitting in the closet during renovations, and the oak leaves that I spray painted earlier all now rest on the dining room mantle. I think we’ve got kind of a shiny display.
