Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016: We know the world didn't end, because, check it out!  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.

Go away, 2016.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Buffista elf appeared and gifted me with a Wonder Woman water bottle and some nummy chocolate caramels (which happen to be a favorite!). I had totally forgotten that there might be gifts coming, so that was nice

Punishingly Intricate

Things in my Box o' Canadianness from Sue include: super cozy Canadian flag mittens, local coffee, local blueberry rum chocolate balls, local chocolate caramel bar (that I ate up right away! NOMS), a Canadian passport ornament that went right up on the tree, a card game where you guess who's a Canadian or not, a bag of "Chicken Bones" (cinnamon candy filled with chocolate...regional treats for the win!), and a CD of Canadian music which I haven't played yet but which my Canadian citizen husband says is probably "all the Hip."

So generous, Sue!! Made my & Canadian Bob's Christmas!

hip deep in pie

Aw, I'm so happy that you liked it.

There is only one Hip song, and even then I had to obtain it to put it on the mix.

So 2016 ended with my 89-year-old father passing away. Well, I hope he gets to share a cocktail with Debbie Reynolds.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I'm so sorry, Consuela.

Our wings are not tired.

Well, I hope he gets to share a cocktail with Debbie Reynolds.

I like this picture so very much. I'm sorry that you have lost him. It sounds like he was a wonderful father, and I know he had a loving daughter.

I'm sorry, Consuela.
