Finale: Rich Little's Christmas Carol
Ahhh, the sweet memories. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I. My family and I saw this as a live performance at the Citadel in Edmonton last year. Such a marvellous performance. If you have the opportunity, you simply must take it in.
Rich Little's Christmas Carol part 2
I still remember this from when I was a child. Of course, I was too young to understand all the nuances but I do remember it being a less frightening version of the classic Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. Now I watch it with a new appreciation for the great talent of Rich Little and his humour. It's a light twist but the message remains as important today as it was when Charles Dickens wrote it years ago.
What are your favourite Christmas memories? Do they consist of movies like this?

Creative Alternative to Cutting Down the Evergreen for Christmas
The creative staff at Gleeson Library in San Francisco have put their imaginations to good "green" work. Rather than cut down a tree, they stacked books covered in varying shades of green, forming a tree that is a focal point in the library. Clean up is super easy - just re-shelve the books! Clever.

Grass Fires Near Lethbridge Over the Weekend and other Anomalies
This weekend found Lethbridge area dry and windy, necessitating fire crews to be on scene in the Magrath area to battle a grass fire. Residents in the vicinity were temporarily evacuated.

Calgary had winds near 140 km/hr, that's F1 force winds. Windows were shattered in some downtown high-rises, trees uprooted and power outages. Near Claresholm, eight semi trucks were blown off the highway within a period of two days. Click on the link above to view footage.
Winds died down overnight, thankfully. I spoke with someone who had travelled Hwy. 2 Sunday and couldn't fuel up in Claresholm as the windstorm had caused a power outage and gas pumps were inoperable. They too reported semis overturned along the highway. I am so thankful that those who were travelling, my son included, arrived at their destinations in safety.
