Tis the season

Two holiday seasons in a row, the Moir/Jessica Xmas Celebration on Facebook invited literally thousands to - hey - check out Scott and Jessica's Fun Family Xmas!

"Moir Rock Band Family Xmas '09"

"Xmas 2010!"

Scott's red-eye isn't the only annual holiday tradition.

In  2009, the festivities happened Chez Moir and in 2010 at Le Domicile du Dube, but at each Scott and Jessica donned coordinated, suggestive of just-out-of-bed sweats, accessorized with bedhead, and only a light make-up application by Jessica in deference to the camera's lens. This attire is de rigueur, regardless if the rest of the family wears jeans.

Both photo albums are organized around a sofa upon which the lovebirds perch.

Small differences - at the Moir household, the beverage of choice is wine:

Aunt Carol

I'm not myself til I've had my morning wine either.

In fairness, as Scott and Jessica have changed out of the cozy-couple sweats, it may be 5 p.m. somewhere in Canada.

While at the Dubes, that looks like a coffee or tea cup just above Jessica's left shoulder.
I hope neither Scott nor Jessica spend future holidays away from parents and siblings because how would anyone celebrate without the sofa focal point.

Scott waits to see what gift he has gotten Jessica:

OMG that's hilarious!
I mean - aw - that's so romantic.

Tessa test-driving a Tiffany's key in early 2009.
She's the best partner ever.

So that's what I got him. I wonder if someone is
making fun of me. I'm never sure.

Will they break tradition this year or will it still be sweats and any-which-way hair to represent a couple of just-rolled-out-of-bed xmas homebodies in a long-term relationship. Surely despite their recent discretion with facebook, we won't be deprived. It's Christmas!

I'm hopeful. After the GPF free dance, Scott allowed as how before getting back to it, they would be spending the holidays "hopefully with family" while looking at Tessa. I take this to mean he'd remembered to allude to his annual holiday celebration with Jessica either in the bosom of his family or Jessica's, and was hoping Tessa was pleased he had.

Maybe there will be a twist this season, and Tessa will ring the doorbell and surprise everyone with a gift en route to taking a sleigh ride with her mom, Kate, and Ryan Semple. I feel like Cara may have retired, and new personnel stepping in.

To date, from her amoureux, Jessica has received a Tiffany's key pendant at a slightly lower price point than one Tessa had worn in early '09, and in 2010 she was presented with a charcoal/white/black striped tunic sweater - a lower price point version of various outerwear Tessa had sported during competitions the previous competitive season.

I think it's time all concerned stepped it up and got Jessica:

At two carats, it's a bit pricy but the Virtue family are avid supporters of this love story. Perhaps they'll pitch in. When it comes to Jessica not only is group effort the watchword, but no expense is spared.

Scott and Jessica are both 24 - getting up there to still be unmarried in certain parts of Canada. This deal is sealed. Neither has so much as been "on a break' since 2007. We know where this is headed. We, the fans, should not be left in the lurch after having a ringside seat from the start - we should see this.

So we have the Xmas 2011 profile photo to anticipate, and photos showing up on other facebooks. I hope we don't miss New Year's although last New Year's Eve will be hard to top:

Happy Most Wonderful Time of the Year - 2011-2012! to Jessica and Scott.

The Walk of Sham(e)

This blog has discussed the benefits Jessica Dube receives from the sham, but seldom gives props to her contributions. It can't be an easy job, being a virtual Moir, although I'm sure as the years then decades roll on, Jessica will continue to rise to the challenge - or perhaps just do the whole thing sedated. Why not? It would take a discerning outsider to distinguish ordinary-demeanor Jessica from a Jessica enjoying the assistance of a couple of xanax washed down with a little rum and diet coke.

Maybe the Moirs will learn to understand French! Jessica can dream.

Or maybe it's a good thing they don't.

The sham girlfriend's role here is heavy on hearty, more-Moirs-the-merrier family fun and low on glamor - no dinner with the Queen, no Gemini awards, no red carpet, no chauffeured around in a Japanese Hyundai while pink rose petals fall gently from above.

In deference to the season, a bit of appreciation might be appropriate as we look at Jessica's labors in the Field of Sham.

Wear it with pride Jessica

Jessica looks as if she could be slightly anxious in the photo above. If so, hard to figure. Scott and Tessa have just skated brilliantly.  She's got Danny behind her and Cara to her left.  Who wouldn't find that relaxing?


THE KEY MY BOYFRIEND, SCOTT MOIR gave me!

Long day at Ilderton's Scott & Tessa's Gold Medal Celebration.

Perp Walk

Best bf ever.

Oh - She's Good Enough To Shove In OUR Face

But you spare yourselves.

D&D are done.  Dube dumped Davison.  What about a hometown girl from the syncro team for the job?
