Weekly Challenge: Christmas

It’s been quite sometime since ExP and I had a photo challenge. But seeing as the holidays are close by, I suggested we do another one with the theme of Christmas. For this challenge, I visited my local Ajax Chapters book store and snapped some photos of their seasonal decorations and gifts. The day was made extra special when my friend, Alison, joined me for a hot holiday drink at Starbucks and a present exchange – made amongst the store’s beautiful holiday decor, festive tunes and vast array of Christmas books and candies.

Christmas time is near

Well, it’s almost upon us again … my most favourite time of the year: Christmas time!

Every year, we have a tradition. We decorate our Christmas tree during the annual Toronto Santa Claus Parade. However, we switched things up this time around; we put our tree up to coincide with our local parade.

For our tree trimming “party,” my cousin stopped by with some very tasty holiday cookies – that she baked, I might add – and we ate a traditional Swiss Chalet Canadian lunch. We also drew names for our cousin Secret Santa gift exchange.

Only 39 days left. Just saying!
