Merry Christmas to you too, rigged2! And to all here who are celebrating!  

Happy, merry, and bright Christmas to all, and hopefully, a warm one too.  I used to say that in southern part of Texas one could usually go to the beach on Christmas Day. Maybe not get IN the water, but at least go TO the beach. It might be too cold all around it, but one could usually count on Christmas Day.  This year is proving me wrong, and's fur az ah concerned that's ENUFF, Mother Nature. Respects, but you have done your winter thing now and we can get back to the high nineties again, thank you.

Just watching the sun come up between the trees. I am just getting over a bad cold and that sunshine looks really warm and welcoming, and the postal truck has already driven by twice already, delivering those cards, letters, and gift boxes from far and wide, no doubt. Think I hear the coffee pot calling my name.   -- Blessings to all.

Back at you, Di! Merry Christmas!

Hi everyone. It’s Christmas Eve here. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas.

9 and Q first

MM, I  got that 108 on my first try and have not been able to finish since.

It's right cold here in the sunny south as well. One of my sons just found a way to take his wife to visit her family. He said that it was a bit of a challenge with all the flights which were cancelled.

Upstate NY too, slorunner. Playing havoc with holiday travel everywhere. Hope everyone is staying warm and safe!

Stay warm everyone! Sub-zero here in Chicago-land...

I've tried that, Larry. There's something else you're doing which I haven't figured out.
