On a lighter note....

Sorry for those of you who have to put up with us this time of year, but I had to post this for Natalka....Nat, this just brought tears to my eyes; I miss my family's Ukrainian Christmases from long ago...they were bigger for us than the December one......and I miss my little embroidered blouse I had when I was very young....:)
I wish I knew where this took place...

That was filmed in Kharkiv, Kyiv, Lviv.
It's always struck me odd that once the song was given English words, it became a Christmas song - Carol of the Bells.
Otherwise, the Ukrainian version isn't a Christmas carol, it's for New Year's.
Finally had a christmas dinner of sorts tonight. My little cousins opened the gifts from me and I got a couple things too. $100 PC gift card, $50 for Timmys. Some chocolates and body wash. They had a bunch of apps, chips, cheese etc. Lasagna, salad and garlic toast for dinner. Main thing was my little cousins opening their gifts and just hanging out with some family.
Good morning everyone.Attachment 324860
a very cold good morning to any and all dog walkers who are grumbling under their breath today! Oh man, good thing I wore my new Tim's Christmas red knitted mittens!( cup of coffee kitted into 1 palm, a donut in the other ) They are so warm, the only part of my body that stayed toasty warm on the short walk outside.
Have a lovely day all!!
Hooray for our Leaf's they have a Play Off Spot!!!
A good fine morning to everyone!!!
Brrrr! Winter has definitely descended on us...make it go away!!!!:bawling:
The kids are coming over for a Little Christmas toast and I made my Mom's apple squares we all love so much..I'm not sure our Grandson remembers it, though.
Have a lovely little day, stay warm and out of mischief!!

do your apple squares look anything like these @Lynn49 ?

YES!!! That could very well be them!! I put a little more cinnamon/sugar mixture of top and my Mom always dotted it with strawberry jam, and oh, that crispy topping!!....HOW did you know?!?!
Okay, I might have an inkling...neighbours?? :) You never fail to surprise me, @walkonby !!:cheesygrin:
Used $60 of the $100 pc gift card. Also went to the Tim hortons in the mall for lunch before shopping. Had their italiano bagel sandwich and a pepsi. Their sandwiches are so good lol especially when free. ;)
Smoked mozzarella cheese, smoked ham, and dry cured pepperoni, baby spinach, red onion and pesto sauce on a sundried tomato asiago parm bagel pressed in the panini grill. Just over $8 including the pepsi. but the sandwich is really stacked with stuff. ;)
@Natalka and @Lynn49 I want to wish you both a Happy Little Christmas.
