Merry Christmahannukwanzzakah!

Christmas in Calgary used to be white - a foot of snow [mostly fresh],
temps in the 25-30F° range. Snowball fights were not unheard of.

For the last six or seven years, Christmas has been brown - dead
grass, leafless trees [excepting evergreens, of course], and temps
well above 32° - this year it's about 50°F. [Don't try to tell me
that global warming is a myth...].

The things that haven't changed are the family get-togethers, gift
exchanges and variations on the traditional meals - in other words,
the best things.

Here's hoping that the new year is filled with better news for everyone.

Cheers!
