The best of all gifts around any Christmas tree is the presence of a happy family all wrapped up in each other.

We had a huge storm come in last night – thunder, lightning, the whole bit. So nice to lay in bed and listen to it. As soon as it was over, though, I had to go for a walk…

I think this was my favorite photo of the day:

The city streets are wet again with rain
But I’m walkin’ just the same
Skies turn to the usual grey
When you turn to face the day
~ Annie Lennox

The closest I’ll get to a snowman this Christmas.

Getting an inch of snow is like winning 10 cents in the lottery.
