"Oh, the weather outside is frightful...."

(click pics to enlarge)

Well, at least my brother's has been, up in Massachusetts...the weather, that is. Here at the busy travel and shopping crunch time of year is weather that stymies the heartiest of intrepid travelers, at least in the upper tier of the US from the Pacific NW all the way through the Great Lakes to the Northeast. Can I get an "UGH!" from the choir?...!



Here in NC the temps are warming through the holidays...not great news for our ski resorts, but good news for travel and heating bills. We certainly paid for a very cold November here, as our heating bills attest. Be that as it may, my family anxiously awaited pics of the twins at their second Christmas, which I present to you...

I'm thinking 'nonplussed' is a word that comes to mind...Santa was at least 30 minutes late returning from a break, and the parents and kids ahead of them had started pitching their own little hissy-fits which set the tone for all in the expectant line...glad to see this picture end up as good as it did!!!

Can't say the "Sears Session" went any better, though....

Per the "Child" way, when we take matters into our own hands, things just seem to work out just fine!

May all who read this have a blessed holiday celebration of family and friends...that's what it's all about, anyway, not the gifts and symbols. It's the interpersonal relationships, the familial bonding, the love and appreciation of others and what they mean to you.

Blessed be.
