Christmas turned out to be really fantastic, on top of all things, my mum and dad were together with my sister and I (first time in 10 years, how time flies).
Boxing day was one of those adventurous ones where a large part of the family comes over and a bunch of people pile into the kitchen to help with dinner. After this was when the adventures started, which included getting stuck at the Moncton airport, breaking of my beautiful new camera, and then waking up to a foot of snow, thus cancelling my trip to Halifax. I was stuck in Moncton for two days. I was feeling pretty beaten, but it turned out alright in the end. I chilled with my aunts and cousins, and when my dad finally cleared our driveway (50cm of snow, about 0.5km of a driveway) he came to get me. Things started to look up, we were able to exchange my beaten camera no problem, and immediately bought a case to avoid further problems.
The rest of my stay in NB was relaxing and warm, I came back to Ottawa to loads of fun mail, christmas cards (including one from loved ones down under) and a gift that brought tears to my eyes.
Happy New Year!
