Christmas Day 2006, Thunder Bay

It's beginning to look a lot like Easter everywhere you go.
It's December the 24th and we're living in the North,
But we're playing in the slush instead of snow.

It's beginning to look a lot like Easter: rain falling from the sky.
It's warm enough to walk, but we drive around the block,
And we wonder why.

The air will be hotter, our sons and our daughters
Will wilt under the glow.
The icecaps'll shrink and we'll be in the drink
And we'll have to learn to row
And Doctor David Suzuki can say I told you so.

It's beginning to look a lot like Easter, not Christmas anymore.
The final catastrophe that we might have to see,
Says Al Gore,
Is the rising of the sea, inconveniently,
Up to your front door.

A brief, low-quality Quicktime clip of Johnny and Kristian, attempting to capture Kristian's dancing

At midnight I was holding Kristian and so I gave him a little hug, wished him Happy New Year and handed him to his Mommy, so that they could celebrate together.

I most enjoyed the after-midnight party as Miriam, my Mum, Jenn and Erin took on Tim, Greg, Doug and me in Charades (pronounced "charades") who, yes, clobbered us.
