Sunny & Cold Christmas!

 

During the night till Christmas Eve we got a beautiful snow blanket.
So glad we had a White Christmas that we Finns wish every year!
It has been clear & sunny, but pretty cold: temperatures daily around -17C.
I have not been outdoors much, breathing in such cold temperatures doesn’t feel nice.
I’ll share a few photos of my garden.



There is a rowan outside my window and there has been a lot of birds
munching the berries.



My husband put on his Santa costume and delivered the Christmas gifts to his children.
One family had Omicron, but not severe. We spent Christmas by two of us,
due to the worsened Omicron situation. It was a bit lonely, but the kittens brought so much joy.


My son Harri and grandson Hannes have this Ugly Christmas Sweater tradition.
I find it nice. Silva and Selma have been furious with their new toys.
They play hide and seek by themselves and never get tired of playing.



Our thuja Brabant is our Christmas tree and gets bigger year after year, ecological!



Wishing you all fine last days of 2021 and healthy & prosperous New Year!
Thank you for your comments and blog friendship this year.

    1. Kyllä, paranemaan päin. Itselläkin pientä flunssaa, kotitestit kaikkialta loppu... otan levon kannalta.

  5. Hi Ritta - Your photos are delightful! Even the ones with snow - which I'm nervous of after breaking one wrist as a teenager and the other wrist as a senior citizen trying to walk on a wintry surface!
    I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and wish you happiness and health in 2022! Thank you for sharing your holiday with us at http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2021/12/celebrate-season-with-stollen.html

    1. Snowy and icy surfaces are really dangerous. Every time it looks like that, I put on my Icebugs, never fallen with them. Wishing you too all the best for 2022!

  6. How fun that your husband dresses up to deliver Christmas presents. Ugly Christmas sweaters can be a fun thing, too. We had snow for Christmas here - the first time since 2008. And it's cold all week (cold for us is -9 C), so we've enjoyed lots of snowy walks.
    I'm glad your Christmas was enjoyable, and I wish you a very Happy and Healthy New Year.

    1. Hi Lorrie,
      My husband has had this Santa costume for years. The kids don’t believe in Santa any more, but they all like this tradition. He has 4 children and 7 grands; I 2 children and 2 grands. A big & noisy family. This Christmas we did not meet them all in person due to Omicron. Waiting for more safe times. Wishing you and your family all the best for 2023!

  7. Kaunista ja kylmää on ollut. Ja erilainen joulu monella takana.
    Toivottavasti mennään parempaan päin!

    1. Pakkasta alle 10C, kiitos! Todella kaunista on ollut. Pelkäsin pahempia tartuntalukuja; voi olla, että joulunvietto niitä vielä nostaa. Terveisiä, Lainakoiralle myös.

  8. I am a bit envious of your kittens...
    I am a cat person and I can imagine how much you enjoy them. ;)
    All the best!

  10. Traumhaftes Weihnachtswetter bei euch, da passen die Pullover ganz gut. Wir haben Temperaturen im zweistelligen Plus Bereich.
    Ich wünsche allen einen guten Rutsch in ein hoffentlich weniger wahnsinniges Jahr 2022!
