...quite the contrast to the balmy 50F, here in California. What a shock it will be when we hop out of that warm plane onto the tarmac. ...oh blessed tundra. Although Christmas is kind of a rip off here in the sunny state. I was walking down a road, overly strung with Christmas decorations, the other day, and I had to chuckle to myself at the painted sheets of plywood laying in peoples lawns that were supposed to represent snow. Christmas here is like a Hollywood set. We try to "make" winter. You have to wear coats, gloves, and scarfs almost as a costume... you don't really need them, we just wear them because it makes us feel "wintery"...or so we hope... as we sweat away the day, bundled up. Anyway... Merry Christmas... and have a great New Year.
