Re: Merry Christmas 2025
I think that good weather, especially during the winter, makes people want to go out, and you have a destination for them.
All you that doth my grave pass by,
As you are now so once was I,
As I am now so you must be,
Prepare for death & follow me.

Re: Merry Christmas 2025
I'm glad you enjoyed your first real tree. Do you think you might do it again next year?
We saw a few flurries today, but our cold front did what they usually do around here-- hours of cold rain with temps in the 40s, followed by frigid air after the rain has pushed through. Our high today is c 34, but it's brilliantly sunny here.
I feel a little cheated when we go through a whole winter with no snow. Usually we do manage to eke out one or two. The verdict is still out on this winter, though.

Re: Merry Christmas 2025
It looks like I spoke too soon, right after I made that post on Thursday it snowed for about 12 hours straight and covered the ground with over a foot of snow, it sucks shoveling that much snow, thankfully I just get my employees to do it. 
When I was a kid we always had snow before Christmas, and it was always a guarantee that there would be snow on the ground on Christmas day... that is until 2005, I remember that I woke up that morning and was shocked when I looked out the window and saw for the first time in my life that there wasn't any snow for Christmas, and I couldn't believe it. Of course, since then there have been a few more years when there wasn't any snow here for Christmas and it still feels wrong, like I was in Florida or something.
As for getting a real tree again, that decision is up to the girls, if they want one again then we will get one for them. They really loved the real tree, so they will probably want to get another one this year, though my wife and I are fine with fake trees.
