A Christmas eve in the life of Leanne Dyck
 I spent too much time here today. But what can I say? I love it.
 After a little decorating...
  it's time for a walk
The blue sky wears a thin, grey veil
 There's no snow
However, there is a chill in the air--just enough to wake me up, make me aware...
 that Christmas will so be here
(The deck of a local business is decked in spruce and bow)
 Holly grows in a neighbours yard
 A BC Ferries truck becomes a reindeer
 My friends and neighbours gather at the 'communal' Christmas tree
(I got about seven hugs this year. More next year I hope)
 The fire dies down so it's on to church
 Beautiful music provided by talented musicians
We all leave much wiser
and full of the Christmas spirit
