No ifs regarding snow here, already have snow and another 5 to 10 cm 
forecast for this afternoon, evening and tomorrow.  No ifs regarding the 
temperature it is -10c at the moment (9 a.m.) and will get a little warmer 
during the day, but the temperature is due to drop later and drop more over 
the next few days.


Good wishes for a happy holiday to everyone - turkey with boyfriend 
tomorrow, then big family party on Boxing Day with about 30-40 people.

a valid for Hamburg in Germany and I am joining those wishes

Have a Great Holiday, wherever you are -- and whatever holiday you celebrate.

And I promise I’ll be again more active on the list but at the moment I still 
need some more calm and mourning.

[lace] Seasons Greetings

Have a Great Holiday, wherever you are -- and whatever holiday you celebrate.

Where I live, the weather people say there is a 4 percent chance of snow -- 
happened only 2 times in the past 80 years.  However, they say it MIGHT be 
possible this year -- IF the Christmas Eve clouds drip on us, and IF the temp 
is low enough to freeze the drips, and IF we get up early enough on Christmas 
that it hasn't melted yet --- THEN we can claim a White Christmas.  That's a 
lot of 'ifs' and I'm not holding my breath waiting.

I will be enjoying the day at home -- and plan to pull out my half-done lappet 
to work on.

The day after Christmas, the lacemakers around here gather at a home to make 
lace, talk and eat.  It's a fun, casual day.

Merry Christmas!
