Ralphie Happy Holidays A Christmas Story Shirt

People love winter because they grew up with it and they hold dear memories and nostalgia associated with winter conditions. ie) holiday season. christmas, new years eve, gifts, food, relatives, etc. Perhaps, they are into winter sports such as ice hockey, curling, skating, skiing etc. I doubt anybody who has lived somewhere without winter would love winter, if they actually knew what winter entails. They may be in love with the idea of Ralphie Happy Holidays A Christmas Story Shirt, because they haven’t experienced it. If you ask them to actually live in that condition, they’ll be like “hell no”. Sure there are those “winter wonderland” moments where snow looks pretty and how they get on the trees, it can be scenic. But the “winter wonderland high” lasts like a week, the novelty effect wears off. If it doesn’t snow more, then the snow becomes black due to air pollution and general automobile waste on the road. It also depends on what kind of winter it is. Winter in NYC is not the same as winter in Montreal. Sunlight duration matters, too. Sunny winters are not the same as sunless winters. I moved from Texas to Montreal, Canada 4 years ago. I do not enjoy the winter here at all. It’s atrocious.

The police are far away as well for most outports, they’re more regionally located, so that means people are pretty self-sufficient if something goes wrong. Unfortunately, medical care is limited to clinics with any doctor willing to work in such isolated places with a close-knit local population, which is a lot of foreign doctors brought in by the Rural Doctor Program. We have a lot of turnover in doctors in those clinics, if you’re lucky enough to have one. The mail comes in daily, the last time I checked, sometimes there’s a post office (many have been closed), and at other times there’s just community boxes. I’ve driven, more than once, through bad weather in the tracks left by the mail truck, LOLOL! That’s late-night driving you can trust. The only thing better is getting behind a title. Oh, yes, you’ll drive in insane conditions compared to the mainland US, that I’ve seen. We clear our roads better, we get power lines up and running again even when a new storm is rolling in, and we look for people lost at sea when we ourselves might end up lost at sea. The community is everything to Newfoundlanders. As a child, I could be corralled by any ‘Nannie’ who needed fish turned on the spit in her back yard. I could end up shoveling out anyone’s driveway in the winter time.

Christmas’s roots go way back. In fact, part of Christmas origins began in Scandinavia. The Norse people celebrated a holiday called Yule during December 21 through January. Why? Well with the worst of winter being over, they wanted to celebrate the return of the sun and longer days. Men and their sons would go out and find huge logs that they would then set on fire and feast around until the fire went out. This could take up to 12 days! Germans also celebrated their terrifying God, Oden, during the winter. They believed that Oden was the decider of who would be successful and who would die. Rome also celebrated one of their Gods at this time during a celebration called Saturnalia. During this time, they worshipped the God Saturn, who was the god of agriculture. Saturnalia was celebrated right before the winter solstice and went on for a month. The Roman social order flipped upside down at this time with the poorest of the poor actually being in charge of the city! Around this time, Romans also celebrated Juvenalia, which was a celebration in honor of the Roman children. And, on December 25th specifically, a Ralphie Happy Holidays A Christmas Story Shirt in honour of the birthday of the God Mithra, the God of the Sun (Sol Invictus) was celebrated.

The storms are fierce, and can last for days. We’ve had our house buried in on the first floor more than once, and many homes have second stories so people can get out easily in the winter, LOL! But you’ll own numerous shovels and be ready to use them; when I was small, we had a Ralphie Happy Holidays A Christmas Story Shirt with an unheated porch, so we could shovel snow into that room before we shoveled it out again. Most people don’t mind, they have good heat. Up north, oil is more popular (sometimes you’re north of the treeline in some places in Nfld and Labrador), but there are a lot of places that have wood furnaces, and the autumn’s spent cutting wood you can tow out with a 4-wheeler (or skidoo is easy, once the snow is down), to keep you warm. Electric heat’s traditionally come in third, and I never encountered natural gas heat until I hit the continent.

Mother Parker for disciplining Ralphie, something mother’s of the Ralphie Happy Holidays A Christmas Story Shirt were far more apt to do, and not like mothers today, who think they’re children are perfect, and require no discipline whatsoever. Yup, even that brings back fond memories of my brothers being disciplined, for the umpteenth time. The Christmas tree itself after it’s been decorated. I can see my parents sitting there, all the other lights out, snow falling outside, and the angel hair on the tree giving it that ethereal look. The only difference was, that my parents put up the tree themselves, laid out the gifts, and then woke us up to “Santa’s been here”. I’ll tell you, walking into our living room at whatever ungodly hour it must have been, always left me in awe, and it wasn’t until much later, that I truly appreciated all the hard work and long hours that must have gone into making Christmas so special for us.
