Weather grinch.

We took in the ‘seniors Christmas dinner’ at noon yesterday. We had been invited previous years, Fran went on her own, I was not ready for the honor of being a senior.

Here are some pictures of the tables being prepared by the event helpers, attendees singing Christmas carols and of the helpers joining in the singing.

It was an enjoyable meal and highlighted [for me] by the hymns and carols sung in Inuttitut. I usually join in, you can get the gist from the English versions, you just have to slow things down a bit, and lots of humming and adlibbing helps too.

The grinch hit towards the end, we were informed that due to the weather Santa Claus could not get in, therefore we would not be receiving the usual gifts at this time.
I took this very badly and stomped my feet and demanded that we see Santa Clause…………… Well not really but I was tempted to see what the reaction would be.

The gifts would be forthcoming when the weather clears; we would either pick them up or ask for them to be delivered, sans Santa Clause.

A big thank you to the organizers and the helpers who prepared the meal.

So it was out into the mini storm that was predicted, lot of blowing snow, the walk home helped burn off some of the calorie intake.

BIG WIN:

I have been meaning to post something on the Nain Huskies recent big win on the Island,
it has sparked a lot of excitement amongst the youth here for sure.
So in the absence of anything from me here is some good coverage of the BIG WIN.
