Christmas is coming!!!

Ya Christmas time is coming. The time where family's and friends get together to spend the day being happy and warm exchanging gifts in a brightly lit warm room laughing and sharing some heck of a good time. I just don't like Christmas because of that but also because of seeing the Christmas hype. Everyone is running around shopping. Christmas malls are jam packed and there are traffic jams on the street. You hear a change in the music with Christmas bells ringing all around you and Christmas music playing on the radio. It is one part of the year that I really like because it just makes you feel really good about yourself that you have the chance to give to friends and share some good times with everyone. Who could forget the Christmas dinner with the nice oh so beautiful turkey as well. Oh Christmas time is a time when I like to eat as much as I can. I am all right with the snow but it is also nice to sit around a nice fire and not have to worry about the cold. I hope that everyone has a very merry Christmas this year.

Winter is here!!!!!!!!

Winter has now struck us with the blanket of the white stuff. In the last couple of days there has been snow falling on the prairies in Canada. I would like to share some common sense tips on how to be a better winter driver. First a good thing to do is to slow down after a snowfall because there is guaranteed to be some fresh ice under all that snow. Leave more time for yourself to get to your job, because of the icy conditions you will have to travel more slowly and if you find yourself almost late for your job you may be trying to speed increasing your chances of an accident. Remember why try to save a minute when that minute you saved could be your last. Plus you will use up extra time arranging to have your vehicle towed and making arrangements to get repairs. Invest in some winter tires, why not if you do a lot of winter driving. It could save your life.
