We went to Martini town in Aldergrove last night. It was cute. It's a small Hallmark Christmas movie set filled with lights and music open to the public. We went last year so we knew what to expect. It feels very Christmassy despite the rain.
When we were there they had Santa, the Grinch, the Dimes and an Ice Princess. The Dimes are a peppy Christmas music trio. As we entered we saw Santa and could hear the Dimes playing. To our left was a guy dressed as the Grinch taking pictures with people. When each picture was finished he'd yell out next in a very funny Grinch voice. I said Santa, the Dimes, the Grinch, oh look there's the Ice Princess.
My daughter was like nope and started to walk away. I was looking and saw two girls with horns taking pictures and my daughter just shook her head and said trust me on this one.
I reluctantly walked away and she said those are just visitors. Have you heard of Furries? I said yeah, they didn't look furry. Their horns kind of looked like Lady Crampus. My daughters like they had tails. I was like oh wow. I don't know if it's a mental illness or not but it's sure screaming out for attention. Weird.
Christmas is kind of winding down as a somber peacefulness prevails. I really stress about the cost of housing for my kids and worry about them after I'm gone. Yet I guess the point is to enjoy the time that we do have because soon it will be gone.
I liked sitting by the fire embracing the ambulance of the lights and music. Between sets of live music they had recorded Christmas music playing and Joni Mitchell's song River came on. Coasting through Christmas embracing the peace.
