Almost Christmas time

Christmas tree in our Miami lobby
And here we are on the shortest day of the year: the winter solstice. For the U.S. 10:48 pm CST. I'm always thinking the 21st, not realizing that for some (say the UK) it's the 22nd. Anyway thank goodness for the days getting longer!

Early morning Miami walk
We drove over to Miami yesterday and fly to Virginia tomorrow for the Christmas holiday. Hurray for family get togethers and precious small children who spread the magic of the season. There are a large number of cruise ships at dock right now. Thinking holiday cruises are getting ready to start.

Been burning up the credit card and probably stressing the Amazon staff as I have relied heavily on their 2 day Prime shipping. Next up massive marathon wrapping, all those packages have gone ahead and landed at Tiffany's door.

Walking with the egret

It's snowing in Crested Butte as I write and more predicted every day for the next few. There's rejoicing for the ski mountain and I hope it continues. We plan on going for a couple of weeks in March so we don't miss the winter in entirety. I just have a hard time relating at the moment and Virginia is supposed to continue the crazy warm weather that the east coast is having through Christmas. We'll all celebrate whatever the conditions are. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
