   Beautiful decorations and some sweet memories, Hugh! All we have in the van is a tiny Christmas tree my best friend gave me years ago. It fits in our small miscellaneous box and will come out on Christmas Day. At least that’s when I remembered it last year. :-)

      It’s good to hear you have something festive to brighten up the end of this tough year for all of us, Liesbet. I’m still wondering where you’ll be on Christmas Day. No doubt, somewhere warm and sunny.

         Well, there is talk now about spending Christmas with a few friends in the desert near Yuma, which is on the border of California and Arizona and close to Mexico. It should be sunny, but I have no idea how warm it actually will be. We do remember Yuma being the warmest places in the US Southwest, so there is hope for 20C/70F weather. :-)

   Nice decorations. I need to buy some, I’m stuck here in Spain this year, and Christmas just isn’t the same here. Back home in Norway, now that’s Christmas for you :D

      Yes, I can only imagine most of the Christmases being white ones in Norway. It must always look very festive there.

         When they’re white, they’re definitely very white. Not all of them are, though, and the snow seems to come to stay later and later. We were home last year, and it was extraordinary beautiful for Christmas with frosted trees, big lumps of snow covering the spruces. Then the snow went away until February, something that never happened when I was a kid. I’m afraid the white Christmases in the south of Norway might be disappearing.

            It’s very much the same thing in the UK. The last white Christmas I can remember was back in 2010. Since then, they’ve been mild and wet. It’s such a shame because it makes all the difference when December is cold, frosty and snowy.

               Sure do. There are probably worse problems waiting, though. We’ll just have to buckle up.

                  Absolutely, although I think the lack of snow in the winter months is a sure sign of one of the bigger problems we all face.

      Thank you, Debby. This is just the beginning. And I’m looking forward to opening window number 1 on my advent calendar today. Window number 24 looks so tempting to open! Can I resist?
