Bing.
Bing Crosby.
He's the Michael to my Buble.
He's the Christmas to my season.
Bing Crosby was a wonderful human being.
His voice like butter, his laid back attitude and ability to make himself appear like the guy next door.
Bing, this blog post is my tribute to you this Christmas season.
I love you and your indescribable music.
If you care to hear the best of Bing's Christmas tunes then allow me to assist you!
--> Jingle Bells (classic!)
--> Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth - Duet with David Bowie
--> White Christmas (an obvious choice)
--> Christmas is a Comin' (my absolute FAVOURITE Bing song!!!)
Merry Christmas friends, enjoy! :)

Freedom
Freedom comes in many ways.
Freedom is the sound of silence when you're the only one left in the house.
Freedom is the feeling of the cool breeze on your face when you're riding your bicycle.
Freedom is...
Well enough of this poetic stuff, let's face it. Freedom is the school bell ringing for Christmas break.
That bell symbolizes the freedom to do what we want and not have to worry about homework or extra-curriculars. That bell is the sounds of freedom ringing throughout the school yelling "Be free! Be free! I release you from your student bonds!"!
It really is a beautiful sound.
It reminds me of all the christmas cards I'm going to make, all the carols I will sing, and all the time I will have to watch Christmas movies, drink tea, eat cookies and read.
Oh to read! To spend an entire day just reading, soaking up the words one page at a time. To fill your mind with knowledge or lose yourself in another world.
With Christmas comes Christmas break which is pure and wonderful freedom.
Thanks Christmas break, thanks Freedom, I need this.

Dreams, Life and Money
You know that house?
The house that you've always dreamed of having.
Of looking upon after a hard day's work.
The house that you own, that you can proudly say is yours.
This house is your dream house, it's THE house.
I've always loved architecture and interior design so to pick just one perfect alcove placement, or one perfect porch stain would be nearly an impossible task.
The wrap around porch complete with a swing, or the vaulted ceilings and the hardwood floors, how can one choose?!
I love Pride and Prejudice mansions with an old and historic feel to them, I love pale yellow cottages with white picket fences, I love modern lofts with bold colours and to blend my eclectic taste would be both an exciting challenge and a nightmare.
But perhaps the dream home isn't so hard to reach for you, perhaps you know exactly what you want and how you want it done. Perhaps you've chosen a log cabin, or a beach house, maybe even a yurt but there is always one thing that seems to stop every dreamer dead in its tracks.
Money.
That dumb, ridiculous currency used to make the world go 'round.
And that's why it's called a "dream" house, because it will only happen in our dreams.
But what if I want it to be real. What if I don't want life to be full of dreams, I want it to be full of dream-like realities.
I'm sick of what if's and saving money and never getting the thing you really want because it's not in your budget. Why not get the sea-foam toaster? Or the better razors for goodness sake!? If that's what is important to you and what will give you just that much more joy then live a little and do it!

Busier than a Bee
Why is the time right before Christmas so gosh darn busy?
Schoolwork increases and it seems like everything I have to do triples!
I love Christmas, the spirit of it, the festiveness.
But it seems that until school is out for the holidays, they just push you harder and harder until there's nothing left of you by Christmas!
I guess I'm just going to have to deal with it.
Christmas holidays could not come sooner.
