Six hours of weird #ChristmasMusic I put together for a friend of my kids
Thereโs some ๐ช in there over the decades, but mostly a wacky range of rock, pop, western swing, a couple of pretty tunes, RUN DMC make an appearance, along with the Berlin Philharmonic and Charlie Parker, both in modern remixes of holiday classics ๐ซฃ

The pets have conspired to get me out of bed early, so I'm coffeed up and listening to our #Christmas playlist. I thought I'd share 12 Christmas tunes written and/or sung by Canadians. The ranking is subjective and unserious, so please no arguments as I'm trying to stay off the naughty list. Have I missed anything or anyone awesome? Reply with your favourites and I might add them to my playlist.

11 - Christmas Eve - Spirit of the West
10 - O Holy Night - Cรฉline Dion
9 - Silent Night - Rita MacNeil
8 - Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Michael Bublรฉ
7 - Wintersong - Sarah McLachlan

Nice to see a UK party leader demonstrate some actual compassion and care this Christmas. I'm so fed up with politicians pedaling hate and division trying to pander to terrible racism and xenophobia, trying to pick up the votes of the hateful.
This is what political leadership really is. Not following the right wing media hatred but countering it.

Good Morning #Canada
Like most Canadians I suspect our grocery bill this week will be over budget as we prepare for a family #Christmas dinner and a week of holiday goodies. But help is on the way in January with the implementation of the Grocery Code of Conduct. Colour me skeptical but I'm not sure this is going to solve the issue of high grocery bills. I understand the attempt to eliminate unnecessary costs in the supply food chain. As a former manager in logistics, the fines and charges for missed delivery windows, fulfillment shortages or even the wrong pallets used, are real. But any reduction in supply chain costs will likely be absorbed as profit, not passed on to consumers. A far more effective solution would be an Excess Profits Tax where companies are charged a penalty tax when they earn profit that is unreasonable or above expectations, such as during COVID or a period of inflation.

This weekend the daughters are visiting for an annual tradition - interior Christmas decorating including the tree. I'm responsible for exterior decorations, and that was done 2 weeks ago. My only job inside is to put up our 35 year old artificial tree (bought at a post Christmas sale at White Rose) and then get out of the way. That tree will outlive me I think.
My wife is very excited because we are in a new house which means she MUST shop for new stuff. Actually she needs very little since we downsized this year and she has recently given away 2 boxes of assorted holiday decorations by posting them as FREE on a local online marketplace. Apparently a young couple, new homeowners and short on cash, were the lucky recipients. Tis the season...
