I hope you are all feeling as I am about the year ahead. We have a lot of hard work, joy and some tears in front of us. But as long as we keep our loved ones close, we’ll find the strength.

Kiss,

Mason and Keyser

I love snow. What do I love about snow?

The temperature usually needs to be warm enough to snow. I also like the variety of snowflake. I’m a downhill skier and snow is crucial to a smooth ride.

 I love the way Christmas lights shine and glimmer on snow.

I enjoy making snow angels.

What do you like about winter? Cuddling up with a hot chocolate? Being outside making snowmen?

Kiss,

Mason

Who and what influences you?

M Night Shyamalan. Have you seen Signs? Well if you haven’t and you’re willing to take a leap with your mind on a number of what ifs. I’d suggest you rent it.  

If you read my work… you’ll understand that I ponder a lot of questions. Wow. Did I just make my work sound boring or what?

The books I’ve loved are those enjoyed by different people for entirely different reasons, movies too, for that matter. If the work provoked thought or had a message not everyone noticed because it was entertaining.

The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood: I discovered this book when my mother was doing a paper on the books vs. movies for a course. We were in Montreal and went to see the movie. I was thirteen at the time. I grew up in a home where I was an only child until I was fourteen. I was exposed to all kinds of interesting thought provoking ideas.

I know I’ll get back to this topic because I’ve barely scratched the surface. And my answer changes based on what I’m writing.

How would you answer my questions?

Kiss,

Mason

I don’t know about you but I’m scrambling to get the last of my shopping done. I was once the Queen of the Holiday season. I would start buying gifts in June. But life as sped up exponentially for me in the last few years. It will be a relief if I get everything I need done for the Holiday.

One of the interesting things about living in English Canada is the lack of threes available to me on Christmas Eve. Some of you might not know this but in French Canadian Tradition the three goes up on Christmas Eve and everyone helps decorate it.

Another fact you might find interesting is that we open presence after we return from mid night mass after Santa was able to drop by an empty house and leave our gifts.

Kiss,

Mason
