Hello everyone looking at this from around the world.

And a Merry Christmas Eve for those of you whom it is already tomorrow.

Today was the fourth day above 0 degrees so we made the most of it and went out for a skate...and when you go out fro a skate in Canada, it means, bring your stick and puck for a hockey game at any rink you can find. It feels good to drive down the road and see games of hockey being played in every rink we drive by. And it doesn't matter who is there, as long as they're on skates and have their own stick, that qulaifies them for almost every hockey game.

I was a bit rusty on the ice and didn't do so well, but I managed a couple goals none-the-less. Because it's a balmy 12 degrees today, no jackets were needed for the game today.

Last night was a historic event. All the Dyck family was together for a night of hot wings, pizza and general fun. It might not happen again for quite a while so we all got together and just had some fun playing games, did our gift exchange and lots (LOTS) of pictures were taken. As you can see, that picture is of all the cousins and spouses/significant others. What a crazy bunch. And if you think you've had some crazy times? Try playing board games with my brother and cousins Kyle and Justin. Our motto is, "it's not a game unless someone's feelings get hurt." Oh, the yelling and the fighting...it's legendary for Dyck board games...it's just our style. Speaking of which, it's just about time for another soon.

We'll be posting a special Christmas day blog soon.

Merry Christmas to all you guys. Keep posted!
