The Christmas That Electricity Forgot

Hello there, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I can't believe it's already here. It seems like I've been waiting for months... Ah yes, I have! However, I'm sure that this Christmas will be like no other because... We have no power. 

I am currently sitting in my room, on my iPhone (which is at 17% battery, yikes!) using up whatever battery/data I can to stay current. My brother and dad have gone into the city to get propane for the barbecue, and we are all bored as biscuits. The cars not parked in the garage are covered in a shield of ice (including mine) and the roads are quite treacherous. To top it off, there are a total of 45,000 people without power around the province. 

This is kind of poopy, but also a learning experience! Maybe a new tradition or two will come from it, like barbecued Christmas dinner or candlelight opening of presents. Who knows? Bring on the holiday cheer, I say! What is your favourite Christmas memory? Leave a comment :)

Merry Christmas to all,
Liv xoxoxo

UPDATE: my dad just called from Costco to say they are bringing home a generator! Christmas with a running fridge and a couple of lamps is good enough for me. Woohoo!

Christmas Tradition // Holiday Favourites

Hey all,
I'm just recovering from the flu, so let's get back in action!

Today I wanted to talk about another holiday favourite of mine. Today, it's the Christmas tradition! If you've ever been in to Hallmark at Christmas time, you have probably noticed their wide array of themed tree ornaments. From Star Trek, to Barbie, to Harry Potter, they've got it all. Every year since I was born, each member of my family receives a Hallmark ornament of something special to them, and we put our entire collections on the tree. I've had 21 Christmases, so I have 21 ornaments. My parents each have about the same, and my brother has 16 ornaments as well. You can just imagine the jumble our tree must look like. But somehow, my mom manages to class it up!



If you look closely, you can find my mom's Starbucks cup, my *NSYNC disc that sings "Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays" when pressed, or my parents' felt "lovebirds" at the top. What a mix!

What's your favourite holiday tradition? Share with us in the comments of this post!

Until next time,
Liv :)

PS. 33 until the big day!
