Happy New Year01/01/2008 3:01:19 PM
It's Christmas time once again. And this will be the 5th one here in Montréal for me. In one of those funny ways that life has of affirming itself I have a sign that this is becoming home.
It was for me a normal enough day. I took an extra day off work to get a handle on Christmas shopping. It happened that we had a ton of snow a few days before so driving was a mess and took forever. I took off for the mall, first stop - buying a tree. Same lot as last year. We talked about traffic, the snow. He showed me a couple of trees. I picked one. We haggled on the price. It was fun and just like last year it was all over in a few moments.
Toute en français. I felt very smug.
Silly me.
Happy New Year, everyone!
Boy am I getting old.
