snow!

 It started raining this afternoon and switched over to this sleety snow during the evening.  I had to brush off Santa once--any weight knocks him down.  I'll turn off the electricity before bed, don't want the weather to damage him overnight.

They made their trip to see Santa tonight. I had to work and couldn't go, but that's okay.  Julia went along and it was a huge success.

A thousand miles away it's December on the beach too, beautiful Florida.

Onward.  It's twenty days until Christmas.

Love, Val
