I cannot blame you - sometimes when the wind is cold hibernation seems like a good strategy - but then one might miss Christmas and New Year celebrations - and they are not wuite the same in spring... lol

We are a small family, for Xmas only me and the boys. Would love to be with my mom but she is not living here and to be honest, would ruin our own Xmas traditions... Just practising some carrols, Xmas party in a week Lovely post Chrostmas has so many traditions, some we make and some we take from the past, but what works for you is best overall - enjoy the carol singing and season.

You put a smile on my face and warmed my heart. It may still officially be autumn, but we've had snow twice, temps in the teens, and Christmas music on the local radio station for two and a half weeks. I'm in the mood for warm fires and cuddling up to watch some sappy Halmark Channel movie. We have had no snow yet, but just had a bad wind storm, it's been mild enough too so had and gloves have not been needed.. not so sure about all the Christmas music though - when it gets stuck upon repeat. So spread the Christmas smile and festive cheer

Hello, I'm happy to see your post,and a lovely post it is,...My best wishes for a safe delivery to your daughter .soon. for her sake,lol Happy holidays........I love the snow as long as it isn't to cold here. The problem with snow is that it does tend to be cold, but I know what you mean, there is biting cold and warm cold (if that is not a contradiction).

Thank you so much, I do enjoy the thoughts of Christmas and the preparations - sharing them is part of the overall experience.

We did some holiday baking this weekend. I started putting up some decorations and dusting off ornaments. I am excited for Christmas this year but not for the gifts. I am glad to be home with my family. Though we won't have snow it has been chilly. Our leaves are still turning and falling. I feel like a kid more so because I am happy. Now if I can just drag everyone else along. Lovely post! The last of our leaves are falling, but it spreads more light around too, even if there are bare branches, there are the evergreens too...

LOL - trying to think what it would be like to have Christmas in Summer... lol... but am sure that south of the Equator they could explain, and, while Christmas dinner on Bondi Beach may seem appealing, I think that part of Christmas is sitting around warm fires and hot drinks in hand... lights, early dark evenings and of course hope for the future. The wee one is due today but am sure will be running late.... lol!

Christmas shopping can be so much fun. I have a huge list in my mind of what I want to get others. Thanks for the nice warm post. Reminds me of home. Stay well!

It's too early for Christmas posts yet GerK!!! Those shop window blings remind me of Switzers Christmas windows....I always took the children in to see them and the lights on Grafton Street....that seems so long ago now. The November Rain has been damn cold this year....and the walking in it hasn't been too pleasant either. I think I may have said this to you another year....but the wish is ever the same my friend....may all your dreams come true. I do wish you and yours the best for the season ahead - I know it is early for Christmas, but then I have to take things as they come, I am not in control of my calender this time.

Gerk Great to see you back and a beautiful post to winter time for us. This is the time of the year where depression sets in for some folks. Not always the best time of the year. I love summer! I am off to Mexico for 3 weeks at the end of the month.. Trying to get away from the damp wet cold of winter for now.. I hope our renos have been going well. A Winter Message A flake of snow in flurry thro’ the air Had landed as a kiss upon my cheek: A secret message, just for me to share; To take to heart but never dare to speak About or presuppose to other eyes Your open feelings – distant though they are. And so, upon your lips, my OWN surprise: A flake of snow returned from me afar. Copyright © Mark R Slaughter 2010 Enjoy your trip to Mexico and thank you for sharing that lovely poem.

It is a beautiful time, once the seasons preparations start to show through, the sounds and the lights and the smells and the atmosphere, and family and friends and presents and things..... ... forget about January until after the 6th - then the room will look bare as the decorations are packed away for another year. But at least by then there is a stretch in the evening and soon the daffodils, crocuses and snowdrops will fill the scene and herald the approach of Spring.

Thank you, but I think that winter can be enlightening, with the joy that the Christmas brings, lights, sounds, smells and family.

LOL suppose, when the icicles hang from your nose, and the frost turns eyebrows white and you can see your breath condense as you breathe out.... but I do like the Christmas atmosphere and the smells and the lights...

True, sometimes we have spring to look forward to, when the grey skies and dampness obscure everything, then we can think of the spring blossoms unfurling, but there is something magical about Christmastime too.
