With Love From Bex

When I was a kid, my family made a big deal out of Christmas. We use to go to the Toronto Santa Claus Parade and stand in the cold, with steaming hot chocolate in tumblers, waiting with excitement for Santa Claus to pass by and wave at us. I have such incredibly wonderful memories of those times, that as I’m telling you this, I have tears of happiness in my eyes right now. It’s actually making it a little difficult to type. While watching the Toronto Santa Claus Parade was a highlight of the day, my brother and I use to really look forward to coming home afterward because it meant that we were going to put up the Christmas tree and start decorating. My dad use to put on one of his many Christmas records, my favourite was always Christmas with Boney M, and we would literally deck the halls…and the living room, and the kitchen, pretty much every room.
