Happy Bucks:
- Jacqueline is happy to have had a wonderful holiday spent with family and friends. And she got engaged on Christmas day to her partner Steve.
- Gerd is happy to have spent holidays in Germany where he shot a fox. He is hoping he will be able to mount it in the house but was told that this is not a Canadian tradition.
- Barry is happy because, even though he had to take his 2 cats to the emergency vet clinic over the holidays, he now has a bionic cat as a result.
- Alan is happy because it was recently his birthday and he’s still celebrating (and celebrating Barry’s recent birthday as well).
- Jim is happy because his sister, niece, and brother-in-law visited him over Christmas. He’s also happy because he will be preparing his list of New Years’ predictions to share with us shortly.
