Old Christmas Trees & Just for Fun

If you're not waiting, like me, for "Second Christmas" to roll around (Ukrainians and other ethnic groups still celebrate Christmas on January 7th), you can donate your old Christmas tree (tinsel-free, as always) to Hope for Wildlife. They will use them as habitats and cage buffers for their little and big creatures alike.  If you don't live in the Halifax area, contact your local wildlife refuge and see if they could use this gift as well!  Read more on the CBC.

And also from the CBC today, the top 10 list of ridiculous 9-1-1 calls received from the Chatham-Kent police department in southern Ontario.  Warning: they're pretty ridiculous!  Enjoy!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and that 2012 will be a great year for you all!

Hakodate Christmas Tree

Every year, like to Boston, we send a tree to our sister city of Hakodate - SMZ was traveling in the area this year, and did a great blog post on it with lots of pics of our big tree! Check it out!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
