I'm an expat from Chicago currently working in Toronto but am fortunate to have my grand parents and many cousins living in Woodbridge and ever since I moved to Canada 6 years ago we've had these huge Christmas and new years parties.
The women in my familly are all blessed with the ability to watch CP24 and listen to News talk 1010 so of course Christmas and New Years as being threatened with cancelation.
But my 90 year old Nonno basically laid it out like this;
- he has likely less holidays left then fingers on his right hand.
- he had cancer, survived
- has 7 great grand kids he was told he wasn't allowed to see the last 9 months.
- and I quote "if I die tomorrow at least I enjoyed today"
It didn't go well with my sister in law, she's a teacher and I'm fairly certain they spike their coffee with Retard Cream, but mother in law and my wife more or less agreed and fell in line.
So we had Christmas, with 15 people, 6 kids and my Nonno, Nonna and it was a blast.
We will also have a New Years party, and if he catches covid and dies, at least it was on his terms. It beats a fall and a broken hip, or more cancer anyways.
My Nonno taught me so much the last few years. We have a garden, and making tons of cured meats, preserves and tomato sauce. We had a blast, and he told me the same stories again he's told me at every get together for the last few years. He drank beer and wine with us and all the kids gave him plenty of hugs and kisses. No government can take that away from us.
That was my Christmas.
God bless.
Any public union is the worst
Why do you think Mr.Bernier is adamantly going after the Dairy Cartel in Canada...
"THEY'RE PUTTNG CHEMICALS IN THE DAIRY THAT ARE MAKING THE FRIGGIN' HUMANS RETARDED"
They gave out those face masks at her school with the stupid phrases like "Isolate and Chill" and "6ft Away Please" printed on them.
She wore a damn mask the whole time, and not even seeing her breath mist seeping out of it on a cold snowey night could convince her that her dumb cloth mask was next to useless for viral particles.
She's a sweetheart in every other regards thought and I love her, but damn she's got programmed weird.
My cousin is a University Professor in her mid-late 30’s. Master’s of Education. This summer when schooling the family on the whole lockdown-covid communism scam, she thought Trudeau would be out after 8 years. She didnt even know Canada doesnt have term limits. Retard cream is real. She’s got the leftist teacher hivemind where they post MSM articles all day and talk about the great direction the country is going.
Her sister is a nurse supervisor in a CMA hospital. Never been so quiet she said in August, still same story. She knows whats up but cant really talk about it.
Wonderful story. This is what the lockdown fanatics are not understanding, people want to live, and ending life to save it just doesn't make sense.
Meanwhile my grandparents are the “wear their masks in the car” type people. Zoom Christmas sucked.
"You're on mute"
"Gran please don't take the iPad to the toilet again... no, granny noo *disconnect"
That's Ok, I'm pretty sure you're the guy I dialed 1-800-RAT-FINK about. They'll get you on New Years...
Bono's a based badass! Wish there were more younger folk like him out there... I know we have us, but I mean in general. May he have as many years ahead of him as he wants!
Sorry to hear that. Mine basically hangs out at the bocci clubhouse with all the other old men. They boarded up the windows and enter from the back so no one can tell they're just chilling together.
He's outlived all his friends who came over with him. He also religiously watches old spaghetti westerns and thinks all newsmen are liars and "finocc's".
He has amazing stories.. he helped build the 427 and QEW exchange, shoveled snow at Union for a nickel and hour, drove a food wagon for mobsters, and he still wears his nice slacks, shirt and jacket everywhere.
Total wop.
