Merry Christmas!!! It's almost as warm here in So Cal, but a fierce wind is blowing and my husband and I spent most of our Christmas Eve and Christmas morning without power! Who'd have thought a candle-lit Christmas would be on the books? At least we're not freezing ;]
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic New Year as well!
Ouch, sorry to hear about the power outage!
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely enjoying the warm weather - sure beats being stranded in Chicago w/o our luggage for another night :)
Merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays.
ReplyDeleteI prefer cold and snow anyway. :)
Happy Christmas, and best wishes for the New Year! Hopefully it won't take as long to get home!
