December 25th 2021 in Victoria BC

I wasn't raised with religion thank goodness so Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays are about as deep as these days go for myself.
The very next day we got down to a chilly -8C thanks to far worse to the east of Vancouver Island as a large swath of North America got ravaged by a polar vortex.
Most images of Queen Victoria are of an older person and I love how this statue of her in front of The Parliament Buildings/Legislature of British Columbia shows a young queen Victoria. She was still alive when it was finished.
