Happy Bucks:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Alan is happy because it was recently his birthday and he’s still celebrating (and celebrating Barry’s recent birthday as well).
  5. 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.
