This post is sponsored by LTK and Sierra. The opinions and text are all mine. I am a notorious last-minute holiday shopper.

Langford residents living along Millstream Creek are bracing for incoming storms which could see the already drenched region hit with tens of millimetres of rain in the coming days. Some Atkins Road residents like Jeff Morrow are especially aware of what’s at stake. His backyard was completely destroyed in a mudslide during Nov. 15’s record-breaking storm, very nearly taking his home of more than 30 years along with it. ”At daybreak (Nov. 15) I went out to look out from the deck and I was shocked by how high the water had come and how it was raging … you have your heart in your throat because there is nothing you can do about it,” Morrow said. “By 6 p.m....
We all can agree that Christmas is the season where we’re all more giving and forgiving towards everyone and that the spirit of sharing overwhelms everyone. However, most of us are still children at heart. While there’s nothing wrong with still feeling a bit childish from time to time, during Christmas, it’s important to think about the ones YOU care about. We get it, the joy of unwrapping a Christmas present is one of the best feelings that you can recall from whence you were but a kid.
