I watch these timeless classics every yr but it's said if you haven't seen a movie in 10 yrs it's like you've never have. Scrooge is on YouTube no ads. Look at the Dickens' novels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsMYwgnfKAE .

Today, the BC Gov't announced planting 280m trees. Look at the logged clear-cuts east of Kelowna. Light green are slowly re-growing. Animal pathways between cuts, terrain issues. Often times you'll see strips of uncut timber alongside roads that hide the logging from drivers and might be why animals get hit. It looks like this on every inch of BC. Sustainability's needed of course but after planting it looks like a coconut grove. Replacing plastics with paper helps decimate Brazil of the North.

A Dickens of a Christmas. Lastly, of the Christmassy pictures this season, I have to show you what is by far the biggest display in Vancouver from Dickens Sweets in Chilliwack, BC. Each year my mom and dad would take us kids to see the Woodwards store display with all the moving toys. Some people here might remember seeing that. I remember and I'm 66. (Dec 2011)

So, I think you'll like flicking through these, the next best thing to Woodwards that your kids will remember for the rest of their lives.
