Happy Chrismukkah!
[image error]
At this time of year there is always a debate, do you say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays? I’m not actually religious, but I do celebrate Christmas. It’s a time to remember family and friends and be thankful for the past year. I love it – the lights on the tree, the food, the songs, the sappy movies, the presents (especially giving them).
As far as wishing someone Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas goes, I probably fall along a 50-50 split. If I know they celebrate Christmas then that’s my go to, if I’m unsure then it’s probably Happy Holidays. Or, if I know Hanukkah is their thing, I have no problem wishing them a Happy Hanukkah and if they say it to me, I take it in the spirit it is given and smile and say “thanks, you too”. Same goes for Kwanza.
I found this video the other day and thought it was a perfect way to wish everyone the best of the holiday season.
Whether you’re lighting the menorah, trimming the tree or counting the days of Kwanza with a kinara, I wish you a safe and happy holiday! For the next few days, I’ll be counting down to Christmas. Join me as I share some of my favourite things about this time of year.

Interview with Isaac from Dead and Kicking

Oh, well, that is a rather personal question. Much like asking a lady her age, it’s just not done. Let us say that I have seen my fair share of time come and go.
Do you drink blood or are you a psychic vampire?
A psychic vampire? Is that what you are calling it? No, I am merely a Vlad, a vampire of middling power. I require blood to maintain my life essence. The ability to survive on life essence, or the aura of a living being, is only found in the most powerful of the vampiro.
Do you enjoy being a vampire?
If you had asked me that question a few months ago, I would have given you a much different answer. Now however, I believe that the answer is yes. I have found…
