Ways You Can Tell You're in Vancouver for Christmas

  • The hospital you're visiting has not one but two name-brand coffee shops in the lobby.

  • When your cousin talks about starting to try for a child, he says that he and his wife are going to "pull the goalie."

  • Despite the relative strength of the Canadian dollar, a six-pack still costs $10.

  • The cashier at Starbucks recommends that next time you go to "Timmy Ho's."

  • You turn on the TV to see Don Cherry wearing a double-breasted red velvet suit with a Santa Claus tie.

  • Everybody working in the hospital is Asian.

  • Forget Black Friday -- your mother-in-law is psyched for the Boxing Day sales.

  • Your in-laws mourn the fact that NHL players get Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off, and count down the hours until the junior hockey world tournament on the 26th.

  • It snows.

Let It Snow

Merry Christmas, everybody.

"Everybody working in the hospital is Asian."
This one shouldn't be on a Vancouver-only list. It also applies to San Jose.
