christmas already?

well due to airmiles and overplanning - L2 and I have already booked our trip back to Canada at Christmas. That's right - 9 months in advance. We're keen?!? It'll be two weeks of snow, cold, gingerbread and merriment. I have to say it will take a while to sink in that our flight is already booked as the return flight definitely had 2010 written in it.... At least I know I'll get off this island and onto a different continent at least once this year.
