It is past midnight here and I don’t see a thread for wishing everyone, so here it is.

Have a very merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy your gifts, your families and friends. Have a lovely day.

Heartfelt Greetings from the desert.
 
Merry Christmas, everyone! Much Peace, Joy and Love throughout the Holidays.

Sharing a very favorite Christmas song by Vanessa Williams from her Star Bright album. The first time I heard it was in 1996. My stepmom and I was at the Blossom Shop (floral and gift shop). We both fell in love with the song and the way Vanessa sang it. Right before Christmas that year, Vanessa had a Christmas special with the songs she sang on that album. Babyface and Shania Twain were guests.

Hark, The Herald Angels Sing
 
< Check out my picture if you want Christmas snow. (I'm changing it tomorrow.)

It snowed Sunday night to Monday morning, December 16 - they said generally 3 inches. Only rural schools were on a 2 hour delay; they plowed the street but I didn’t have to do the driveway, then another inch Monday night, but the roads dried out fast on Tuesday.

By Saturday, it was 48; Sunday - 54; Monday - 55; Yesterday - 54

That is why my house is always cold. The winter angle of the sun is blocked by that house next door. But in the summer, the angle of the sun is right directly over my house. The front door is hot in the morning and the blazing sun comes in the picture window in the back all evening. Totally backwards from anything comfortable.

Anyway -

Fahoo fores dahoo dores! (guess what I watched last night)

(One year everybody wrote Happy Birthday on my boss's white board in different languages. Mine was in shorthand. ha ha)
 
I hope everyone had or is looking forward to a wonderful holiday season. We had a great turnout at our open house this morning. I drank a lot of mimosas & then eventually cut out the orange juice & just drank the champagne. :nopryde: I'm hoping my stomach doesn't rebel. I'm looking forward to normal food tonight but maybe a nap first.
 
I was going to entertain and roast a lamb for New Years Eve, but won't be after all. Two of the people I would have invited have other plans, and another one uses a walker. It would be challenging for her to get to me and from me to home on New Years, then later get when taxis are impossible to come by.

So a group of us are going out for dinner to an Italian restaurant that is open. We've gone several times before, the food is wonderful and the ambience lovely, even festive.

I'm so relieved. I don't have to buy a lamb leg or shoulder, which are super expensive, especially given that my business has been slow for several months and my checking account is substantially in the red. And I don't have to go on a cleaning spree to get the house in order - was dreading it, as the house is a bit of a disaster. Though I do need to get some cleaning done at a 'leisurely' pace - Mr. Japanfan thinks that plan is :D.

Loving the warm weather:summer:

I wish you could send some of it our way. The Pacific Northwest has the warmest weather in Canada, and it rarely snows here (when it does, it is both fun and irrittating/problematic). But the persistent rain can get tiresome, especially when one has an enthusiastic golden retriever, a breed bred for wet, cool weather.

Looking forward to our turkey tomorrow, which we will enjoy while watching last year's 'Call the Midwife' special and the new one this year. And to the left-overs to come in the days ahead.

Happy 2020 to everyone. I love New Year's Eve because it means I've successfully gotten through another year (well, touch wood for that). Time seems to pause for on the last day of December and first day of January.
