Twelve Days of Christmas


On the first day of Christmas the Vancouver Bach Choir’s rapturous tones
resonate through the Orpheum Theatre right down to our bones.


On the second day of Christmas we join the Whistler Rotary Club
at The Fairmont for dinner and drinks in the pub.


On the third day of Christmas we deck our halls
with snowmen and Santas and baubles and balls.


On the fourth day of Christmas we enjoy the conduction
of great music and story in Santa’s Christmas production.


On the fifth day of Christmas we happily indulge
in homemade eggnog and the battle of the bulge.


On the sixth day of Christmas one of our favourite traditions
is watching old Christmas movies with no intermissions.



On the seventh day of Christmas we toast to this season
of hope and peace, purpose and reason.



On the eighth day of Christmas we worship and sing
thankful to God for the new-born King.


On the ninth day of Christmas we celebrate Christmas Day
with Sandi’s sister and family who invite us to stay.



Chef Randy prepares the whole marvelous feast—
the pudding, the beans—he even carves the roast beast.


On the tenth day of Christmas we trip down memory lane
at a historic village on a carousel and train.





On the eleventh day of Christmas we don’t mind the chill
as we wander through our own Whistler Who-ville.



On the twelfth day of Kissmas we ring in the new year
with a fireside dinner and lots of good cheer.

Happy New Year!
