The Anglican Parish of Humboldt is running their store at the Humboldt Mall for Christmas and there’s a ton of Christmas ideas .. check this out Electronic Yodeling Pickle -- The electronic yodeling pickle is a 6-1/2" plastic pickle with a high-tech interior.

SNOW – booming business is snow tires and half of Canadians are putting on snow tires this year and you can’t buy a tire in Quebec. Snow tires make a big difference and you look after them and they last a long time – Blizzacks are a good tire.

Got the Christmas lights up on the weekend – I can tell you one thing – don’t have six cups of coffee before you untangle that mess.

Got the Christmas lights up on the weekend – I checked out all the bulbs, got up on the roof in that sreaming wind – hooked them all up – and 5 lights didn’t work. Why does that happen – it always happens.


Got the Christmas lights up on the weekend – you know how you feel when you look inside a cardboard box from last year and see this ball of green wire – and what looks to be lights – that’s the way you put them away last year – so take a deep breath buddy because you have a long way to go.

In Miami a 14-year-old girl is doing well after surviving 118 days without a heart. [She plans to go into politics.]

Start to think about the Nipawin Parade of lights – always spectacular – and some of the floats are really funny – I get a kick out of the ones where a car is pulling a ski doo trailer, with a Charlie Brown Christmas tree on it advertising John’s taxidermy.

Christmas lights – Post Office People – blinking lights give people headaches – never have 6 cups of coffee before untangling a string of lights

Careful walking in parking lots – I want to sign your Christmas card and not your cast

Brian and the boys at the Post Office – in Canada – this time of year – 40 million pieces of mail a day – admittedly 1/3 of that is junk mail – 40 million pieces of mail – and letters to Santa – make sure you get the Postal Code right – hoh oho – if you happen to get that postal code wrong your letter to Santa could end up in the red light district in Toronto – so take your time.


I’ll admit there’s a couple of things I’m watching on ebay for Christmas – I always get sucked in by the free shipping to Canada – but somewhere along the line – you get the feeling there’s a custom guy following your every keystroke – saying to himself “there’s got to be a way to nail this guy” – when it’s all said and done are we really getting a deal buying from the US on ebay – I don’t understand free trade.

More people buying real trees this year – that means more vacuum cleaners will be sold this Christmas.
