We welcomed December with our second Christmas celebration of the year - the CDMS Christmas brunch at the Cow Café - and it even snowed! Duncan is "The City of Totems". For a change of pace, we did one of our daily walks around Duncan's downtown, checking out the totems, the Christmas décor, and the art. We once again ventured down the hill for the Cowichan Bay Christmas tree "Light-Up" at the Maritime Centre. We were still hiking Cobble Hill well into December. In a very short time span, we managed to enjoy quick visits with Auntie Janet, Michelle, and Karyn before flying out of YVR. We then flew to Dubai to enjoy an eleven night cruise aboard the MSC Lirica to Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. During our return to Canada, we both became ill. I developed a nasty cough which lasted for the rest of the year. We returned to the Lower Mainland on the 23rd, in time to spend Christmas Eve with relatives on Lisa's side of our family. We then had Christmas dinner in my parents' new condo. On Boxing Day, we surprised my dad with an open house 75th birthday party with many of his friends. We returned home on the 27th, but unfortunately my congestion and cough continued to plague me. I was finally up to joining Lisa on a walk on the 30th. We continue to read and watch movies, even while on planes and ships! I made this collage recap of our 2019 using one photo from each month.
