People are going crazy in the shopping malls.
We're getting close to Christmas, but who cares?
Crappy creepy commercial Coca-Cola Christmas.
Santa Claus is coming with presents. I guess he won't get as far as the children in Africa, as usual. It's quite understandable. He's coming all the way from the North Pole.
This year, we're doing it differently. We just go up to the mountains for a 10-day skiing vacation.
No Christmas tree, except a picture to put on the wall.
Kids will get presents, don't worry. I don't need anything. I've got too much already.
I'm looking forward to the days on the slope. Cold days with white snow and the faint December sun. Great! This will probably be the best Christmas ever.
I'm preparing for Christmas; waxing my skis >:)
(The picture above is from my archives, taken last Christmas, on a beautiful day, with the low December sun burning between the birches.)
Have a great time on your ski trip, Cold. We'll be getting snow this Christmas, but on;y for the day. Anyway, we don't have hills for skiing.
ReplyDeleteGreeting from rainy California. Happy Holidays! Good someone like the snow and cold. I'm too wimpy to deal with the cold and too clumsy on the slopes. Enjoy all 10 days of it! I know you are in your element!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo! I wish I knew how to ski!
ReplyDeleteI understand your reservations about Christmas. I feel the same way, it has been commercialized. Hope you start writing again. I'll be checking in later. :D
