Mary,
I wish the same to you and yours, and all the rest of you out there. Christmas is a happy time, and a time for family, even if only you and your mate. Look for the good side, it is there.

Yesterday we had a snow fall. Today there is a beautiful clear and white siberian winter here in Idaho. The temperature in the morning when Ela went to the school bus was ...1 F (-17 C). Now there is probably 20F (-7C) and it is not going to get any warmer today anymore!

Jaga,
Dress warm, and get outside with the kids or grand kids if you have them. You will have a ball. We enjoyed this when we were young, and can again, with the kids. Many kids today don't even know what a snow angle is. Or how to write in the yellow snow. Show them these things.

Ohhhh, the wonders of winter fun. In our younger days we would cross-country ski. In our backpacks we would have a small hatchet, starter wood and food items such as slab bacon etc. After skiing for about 5 or 6 miles we would stop and build a fire, cook the food, drink the schnapps and brandies, and enjoy a hell of a nice moonlit night with good company. Others enjoy Alpine Skiing. Yet others are into snowmobiles and their various abilities. So there are a host of ways to break the melencholy of the season. Now, in our not so younger days, we have a hard time shoveling the walkway or walking in the snow or driving in the snow or - - or - - - just what the heck was I going to say? ? Never mind. You all have a very 'Merry Christmas!!!!!!'

just john,
Now is time to share this with others, you children, grandchildren, or other members of your family, or their children. Be a good uncle, share a good time. I am older than most in this group, but I do my share, and feel better for it.
