...one foggy Christmas eve...

I don't like "Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer", but that line fit this year's holiday weather perfectly. The fog was the only white we got. Actually, it was lovely yesterday morning, when the fog froze and outlined everything beautifully. Even cobwebs look artistic when adorned with tiny frozen droplets! It did make walking a bit treacherous though, as the sidewalks and pathways were slippery.

In Germany, the standard New Year's wish is "einen guten Rutsch" - "a good slide" into the new year. Admittedly, that is meant figuratively, not literally; we'd rather not have icy roads...

We've had a slight dusting of snow, rather like icing atop Christmas cookies, but it melts away with the old year passing. Happy new year, Esty. The River Daughter
