Move 103.5 FM is now all Christmas Station............ they do a great job of playing a variety of music. Just wish they would ban Xmas songs from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.............. so fricken annoying. Especially that "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Talk about vomitting christmas, gulolol.

Overstepping boundaries is totally good. Do and ask for forgiveness later...............it's the christian way. Catholicc/christian same difference..........
Hence, "god bless."

Burnaby Heritage Museum is free admission all Christmas season. There's lights, food, and a small christmas town there. It's pretty good for being free.
According to the review above, avoid the crowds and go on a weekday. You cannot just attend. Must order tickets in advance. I'm tempted to go, but I'm getting too old for this kind of shit. Even with the seniors discount, gulolol. If anyone else has been, let us know how good or bad the experience was..............

Not a restaurant......... but much, much more..........
Vancouver Christmas Market

Gf bought tickets for a weekday, no lineup, it was busy inside, but minimal waits for the food lines
Otherwise mostly garbage you don't need from vendors.
Picture Richmond night market, except instead of cheap garbage from China, it's local made overpriced knick knacks made by someone that orders chia free latee skimmed vegan ultraviolet strained coffee
If you like xmas lights, they were decent, not my thing
Picked up a cider from a vendor to take home, ended up deciding to drink it there, broke the top off on a metal bench, the glass top broke off with it lol.....
Begged some vender for a cup, poured it in, good to go
Then I bought some overpriced salami to take home, fuck me was it good, don't know if it's because I haven't had salami in the longest time, or it was just that good.
Lastly got some squid for dinner, not a fan of battered squid, but it was decent
Good for a date night, or to burn a few hours.

How's Christmas in the warm weather? Does it feel a little off?
Is that your experience at the Van Christmas market or you just went to one in NZ?
I remember trying lamb and beef in Oz and it was totally different than what we have here. It taste much more meaty and juicy. Prices were reasonable too.

20c Christmas > 0c Christmas

Yeah, I remember them. Watched every episode of AGT. The arabian girls won this year, iirc. What they did was not new, but being from Iran/Iraq/Wherever, made it special.

It's only November, but was starting to think of things to give friends and relatives for Christmas, this year. I found the perfect gift for a friend of mine who's really into Nespresso, lol. Only problem is, I have to give it to her before Christmas, yes?
