Yes, no snow in Vancouver region today, unlike in Montreal last night, but superb day nonetheless: full sun. And mild. No need for winter jackets: fall raincoat is perfect.

We went for coffees and a walk in the beautiful Mundy park with both dogs.

Chatted with a few strangers and regulars and we exchanged Christmas wishes whenever we bumped into anyone.

I very much feel the spirit of Noel or Christmas as usual, like every year.

Thank you Lord for such abundance and ease and happiness in our little yellow house together with many pets.may peace be felt on every home tonight and all year round, for Jesus Christ is born tomorrow.

Hallelujah and amen!
