      Molly is sure the longer days are her special present ( don’t tell!) Thanks for gifting a comment. Merry Christmas (early – but for presence, you have to be there not here. Jingle on! 🙂 )

          Grandparents had a big bird on their tree that trilled and chirped actual bird songs…you’d think “natural” would be better…dogs barked like crazy. Cats found an excuse to climb…it was like Griswold’s Old Fashioned Christmas..

      Let’s see. Fog finally lifting, but rain chances: 30%,40,70,30% and onward – it is so not liquid snow. Will be windsurfer in stead of sleighs this year. Thanks for jingling along
      (Not a whale of a time. Whale stranded on shallow surf of Galveston beach. 30-40 feet (go to ch2 news, Houston for video from KPRC) This is very rare. Developing story. TX Marine Stranded Mammal network in route. Santa? A wish?)

    Nice introductory verses…
    And those glowing events sound stunning and I´d love to look up to the sky those days in order to catch them… Although, I am in the Southern Hemisphere, so I am sure I won´t be able to do so… Anyway, I hope you enjoy it… Merry Christmas and all my best wishes to you. Aquileana 🎄

      As it turns out, the rain and cloudy skies will prevent any sky views until before New Years Eve. But maybe someone will be able to enjoy the shows. Sharp clear winter skies are great entertainment. (I need to check the Southern Hemisphere and see what’s on the playbill there. Thanks for the hint)
      Jingle merrily along. Merry Christmas

    Just heard the full moon on Christmas news for the first time today … Merry Christmas to you and your family … and of course Molly and RC.

      The moon looked almost full last night (against a 360 degree pink sunset). May be the last we see of it for a few days if the predicted rain comes in – before the cold on Sunday (Perfect weather for TV football).
      Hope lots of joy dances your way for Christmas and all next year! Merry Christmas!

        We couldn’t see the moon last night … way too many clouds. Merry Christmas … and don’t forget the chew bone for Molly … and shrimp for RC.

    Paw waves! Snowy is happy. We found a bag on our door with two bags of home-made treats for him. Huh. Nothing for us 😀

      The children always come first! And that sleigh is traveling fast.
      Molly has a surprise hidden.(super marked down “indestructible” raccoon…which may last most of the day) And she get to go visit the German at her new house/yard. She’s had a bath and we are struggling to keep her from rolling in the mud out back. Extra excited paw waves until we have time to visit tomorrow late. Gotta chase squirrel-elfs and reindeer. Cheers!

    I don’t usually revel in the Christmas weather, but this year – the 65 New England degrees and gorgeous full moon – well, much to revel in and out and around. Happy Happy New Year to you!

      The nights before Christmas were certainly a delight. We’ll just nap through the cold grey and drizzle now. Thanks for celebrating along. Hope the New Year brings lots of cheer!
