It's been a good Christmas away from home... I think when the holidays come around you always wish you were home. But because that wasn't possible this year I had a great Vancouver Christmas. Many drinks were had, lots of different groups of friends and learning how to snowboard... pretty well rounded.
I don't know if I could pick out one highlight of the holidays so far. One of the options was an orphan Christmas day brunch at April and JWo's. Brunch, eggnog and rum, Newfies and Australians and cranium. Doesn't get much better than that!
Second up is Boxing day drinking at Library Square with nine random Vancouver friends. Watching world Jrs hockey and continuing on until 1am in the morning. It was a totally eclectic group of friends (always a good start) that were up for an adventure for the day. A little bar hopping, cider and dancing. I think it was the group that made it such an awesome day... Boxing day number two at Library Square was a success!
And finally I had my first snowboarding endeavor. It was a beautiful day, fresh snow (so it didn't hurt too much when I fell on my ass). I took a lesson, spent the day up at Cypress and overall had the best time! I can't wait to go again. Sadly it is a super expensive sport, so it will have to be in moderation, but I can see it being one of new my favorite hobbies.
Heading to Bowen Island tomorrow for a pretty low key New Years, but I'm looking forward to it. Post this celebration, it is time to take a break. I start a couple of social media courses in January so that should keep me pretty busy.
Happy New Years everyone!
