This fills me with Christmas cheer! Thanks for being open Waves.[/caption]
I woke up this Christmas morning refreshed but a bit disappointed. I slept like a lamb but, sadly, still no pony from Santa. Oh well, perhaps he can't deliver to parkades. And Santa would be pretty law-abiding -- I bet Vancouver has rules about that sort of thing: chickens yes; ponies no.
The Waves Coffee House on Broadway Avenue at Spruce Street was open -- the Blenz at Broadway and Granville Street was open also, but I'm monogamous by nature when it comes to my love affair with coffee.
Not only did Waves barista Eun-Hye deliver up a real "White Christmas" dark mocha but her counter mate, who declines the stardom which comes from being named on this blog, gave me both a big heart-fluttering smile and a cute little bobble-headed giraffe from her native Mexico.
I wasn't aware they had giraffes in Mexico, but I know they have one less now.
Does anyone remember the flocked bobble-head or "nodder" dogs that were a popular fixture on the "dash" of car back windows some some 40-years-ago?
Those were only slightly less surreal than the 1980s Christmas duet between Bing Crosby and David Bowie playing over the sound system as I polish off my dark mocha and this post. Click the top image to enlarge it.

Are you hungry? No? Do you need to go potty? No? What is it then?[/caption]
