Really didn't think we'd have a White Christmas, quite a surprise, and
the best kind, no deep drifts and now it's 34ºF, not warm enough to
melt much so I'd best start plowing and single digits are expected
shortly. Hope Santa was good to all.

Sheldon, we got about the same amount of snow as you, maybe a bit more. It's very light and fluffy so easy to move, but underneath it's all ice. Our Christmas was cancelled due to the storm, we didn't want people on the Maine turnpike during an ice storm. Santa stopped making stops here about 20 years ago, unfortunately, so no presents to report. Lots of birds around today. Woofi, the dog, is curled up by the fireplace and the old man is out snowblowing, so it'll be a quiet afternoon binge watching tv.

I have no problem with that on the occasional bad weather days.
:-D
Not as cold here as where you are but I plan to do the same. Nice
meal and tv in a warm house.

Be lazy, take a nap. oh yeah.

Happy Christmas to all here.

Gary, you really, REALLY need to stop posting pictures of the
deceased, especially NOT as a holiday greeting... let those lie in
peace. If you weren't so dense, cheap, and possessed an animal loving
soul you'd have gifted yourself with a pair of new ferrets under your
tree.... perhaps for New Years, start out 2018 on an honest footing.

"Pretty as a picture"...

We had several inches of very light snow (as in "not dense") yesterday, it came down gently and beautifully...a cozy day to prep stuff for today. Today is bright sun and very cold. I like this weather, earlier in the month we had highs in the 40's - 50's, everyplace was over-heated and muggy, a good breeding ground for catarrh and the grippe and such like...

Yesterday a small turkey, and Italian sausage with peppers...also cornbread dressing and a simple cranberry - pecan compote...

This afternoon, a small (three - pound) pork sirloin roast, mash potatoes, and buttermilk biscuits...OH, and potato salad...

[sorry, no pics, they would bore...]

I'll not have to cook for several weeks, I've made plenty extra for the fridge and freezer...

Earlier today, I volunteered at a community holiday dinner. It was a mix of folks, regular families, seniors, youth, folks who are "at need" or who simply need a nice holiday dinner; some are "street people", some are solidly middle - class, it is a lovely mix, much fun and camaraderie. It was quite the posh spread, we served everyone restaurant - style...it is sponsored by several local businesses. My task was to assist in making floral centerpieces for the tables, and then to host folks, and show them to table...about 150 showed up. We are a good and well - organised team, so all goes smoothly...!!!

Anyways, I am happy and I am blessed...

I am now watching "Judge Judy", and have an early evening meal. Actually, being around food all day I'm not in the least bit hungry...

Best to you and yours, Ms. O., it always makes me happy to see your posts ;-)
