You just have to love children. Very early this morning, at their suggestion, we made a batch of bell shaped Christmas cookies. They are now all gone -- with smiling faces!

Our temperatures reached 84F yesterday, and it was hot in the sunshine! Hard to think about Christmas when you're sweltering as you spray weed killer around the yards!

I love Christmas time, but I'm ready for some warm weather now.
Looks like we might warm up this weekend.

Enjoy your post-Christmas warmer weather Christmas Crazy. I know Candy Kane & Tomtemor have posted wishes for warmer weather too. I'd be happy to exchange our warmer temps -- if only I could!

Not me! The very short swedish spring is followed by the very hot swedish summer (no AC in Europe!) I do not mind the cold but the darkness I could do without. Perky (hubby´s new elf name) says that "spring is like winter without snow". But I say "spring" is temps in the 60´s and 70´s and that we only have for about two weeks. I wish it could be Christmas weather all the time!

I'll toast to Christmas winter with snow all the time!

Here we are having "vårvinter" literally spring/winter sort of the reverse of indian summer. The snow is melting but it is still cold. The next Christmas is SO VERY FAR AWAY............

That's very interesting non-christmas weather. I focus on each new holiday yo help time pass more quickly tl Christmas.

I don't like the cold weather.
Santa needs to have his elves create "Warm Snow" with freezing point of 60 degrees.
That would be nice. Then almost everyone could have a white Christmas.

I listened to some of my Mariah Carey Christmas CD on the way home last night and back to work this morning. Made my heart glad.

My daughter(16) and I finished a new Christmas puzzle last night.
The best part is we had a great time laughing and talking with each other.

Love to all and hope you are all keeping the christmas spirit alive in your lives Blessings

tinseltown,
I'm so glad you had a great time. Your Christmas friends have missed you.
The area you went to sounds so beautiful. Maybe some day I can visit places like that.

I'm glad your back.

Hi tinseltown - you've been missed and its lovely to hear from you!

Your description of the lovely snowy English countryside sounds like a Dicken's Christmas! Just beautiful.........and so happy you've been richly blessed!

Enjoy your cookbook reading!

It's another Christmas Friday! As I cannot sleep, I'm doing some quiet cleaning to be ahead of schedule tomorrow. Thank goodness for mp3 players so I can dance to my Christmas rock tunes!

Merry Friday Christmas! I listened to my christmas mp3 on the train to and from school and to Winterscapes on Live365 for a bit at school before others came in. Now I am listening to one of the more lively christmas channels before hubby comes home and we go into friday night pub and shopping mode........I so want to stay home, but we have a meeting in downtown stockholm and I need a new train ticket to get to school. Busses and trains are not my idea of fun way to spend a saturday. Christmas is so much more fun..........

Wishing you, Tomtemor, a lovely weekend invoking Christmas memories of the past!

I broke my own rule today: I quit before my 'to do' list was done. You may ask why? It's raining and cloudy and my windchimes are calling my heart to distant green Spring memories in Indiana! I plan to enjoy every moment it lasts! It evokes that anticipation of Christmas feeling.

Hope everyone is having a great weekend time change here at the end of March so its countdown to October again which is back to winter and then CHRISTMAS
