hello my friends, i hope you had a jolly christmas. here, in my part of the world, we had a white christmas day with lots of snow. we are on lockdown again, so online ordering for groceries and last minute gifts, a cozy meal with the family, just perfect, the way i like it.

the week in between christmas and new year. it is such a special one. it’s like the world has stopped, ‘the holidays’ as people like to say:
- we don’t have time to wake up or time to go to bed
- we want to do many things and at the same time to do nothing
- the christmas tree is still up, but the gifts are unwrapped.
- we are stuffed with all the christmas food, but making plans for the new year’s eve feast
- our mind goes back to the year that is ending, contentment and regrets all mixed up.
- our thoughts go ahead for the year that is starting carrying plans and dreams.
- the days are getting longer, the snow has melted but the air is pregnant and heavy, the winter isn’t done yet.
happy new year to you!
very evocative. Happy New Year to you.

Glad you’re having such a cozy week, Elizabeth. The snow in my area melted already, but that’s okay, the Christmas tree is still bright and everything feels jolly. 🙂

No snow here, though we did have a smattering on Christmas Eve which didn’t settle, just lots of rain, as always. Happy New Year Elizabeth, hope it’s a good one.
