Only two fine weeks ago I was sailing on a catamaran in the Caribbean Ocean. Ah…where would you rather be today?

Jenie and I are gonna play some serious Uno followed by some air hockey and games with Andy. Imma try and do as little as possibe but eat and drink. Tonight, we’re gonna cause some holiday trouble in Kitchener. Look the eff out!

Checked my phone first thing. Christmas messages from around the world are so awesome to wake up to. Thank you! Went upstairs and woke up my sister like I always do. She likes to sleep in. Dad made coffee. Fireplace channel was on. There’s snow outside which is nice but it doesn’t quite feel like Christmas to me. Maybe its the lack of snow? Last year I was in Cuba, hardly felt like Christmas then either. I was lazing by the pool at Hotel National in Havana eating bbq shrimp and fresh fish. I missed my family but there were so many distractions and I’m not that big on this holiday anyways. I enjoy giving presents all year. This is the first year Mum’s not been here for Christmas. Stopped by the house yesterday. I miss you Mum, more today than any other day. She makes it feel like Christmas, the many phone calls re: us coming home, who will be at dinner, what we are having, gift ideas, the tree, the decorations. It’s not the same without you Mum and I wanna make sure you know it. We’re gonna have a great day at Dad’s today. I brought Uno and last night we played Apples to Apples around the kitchen table. I’m sure the Bahamas is loving your energy Mum 🙂 Merry Christmas everyone. Have an awesome day and be thankful for all the joy in your life ♥

Wonder if I will see any old highschool chaps? Hmm.

I can haz? mmmm Woke up to snow. Dang cold out today brrrrr. Dad’s butcher is at a FARM! Pretty packed there this morning. After that we went to brekky at Angie’s Kitchen in Waterloo then to a hardware store. Beer store then liquor store. Didn’t know Rickards Dark was made w/ maple syrup. Might be tasty, eh? Now we go to Cambridge Centre, Best Buy, Future Shop, Walmart and all the other big boxers. All I wanted for Christmas was to hang out w/ Dad 🙂

2010 has been the most awesome year yet. I’ve always held 2004, my year in Australia as the best year but now I’m ready for 2011. I’m looking forward to working with more great people, sharing more things with you and giving back. Yesterday I was named one of the Women’s Post’s Top 8 Web Savy Women of 2010. Here’s what the lovely Erin Bury wrote about me: Casie is one of Canada’s most well known online personalities, and a true force to be reckoned with. Whether it was helping to build MuchMusic’s online brand; winning the coveted title of Toronto’s Virgin America Provocateur; or creating unique and entertaining content on her CasieStewart.com blog; Casie has spent 2010 building her online portfolio, all with her signature spunk and sense of humour. Warning: don’t start reading her blog if you have a lot to do – it’s seriously addictive. Thank you Erin. Check out all the other lovely ladies right here. In other news, Eye Weekly posted this today: Local writers, bloggers, chefs, filmmakers, dancers and several Toronto Raptors tell EYE WEEKLY’s Kate Carraway what’s on their holiday wish-list this year: Casie Stewart, blogger: On my list is XBOX with Kinect. I wanna master the dancing game and have a dance off! Sanasaaaaaa! Bondetourage @ Electric Christmas on Monday: Lauren, Me, Raymi Heading home to see Dad for the holidays. Really looking forward to his jokes and spending some time time in Cambridge with old friends. (Yo, message me if you are around peeps!) BTW, have you seen Mariah Carely lately? WHOA HUGEEEE.
