Christmas Greetings to All 'Sphericals (and perhaps a good deal more spherical by the end of this week!) from the land of Oz, where Christmas comes in the middle of summer.

Is anyone up north expecting a white Christmas this year?

That's a great photo, too, Janet.

Perhaps folks could use this thread to post photos of their family celebrations.

A very warm December looks like smashing all records here in Denmark. So no, no snow. Merry Christmas, everyone!

I live in the U.S, Northeast, normally cold in December, the first month of skating on black ice when I was a kid.

We have fresh green mosses. Some ferns are into the fiddle-head stage. Skunk cabbage is sprouting. Not yet the crocuses and daffies, but I check them daily. A friend has irises showing their leaves. I ate the last fresh tomato eight days ago. My wife is still playing golf locally. Rain and mist is the heaviest weather.

I think it's changing faster than we think.

Yup, balmy in New York as well! No one's about to complain about that. Yesterday people were out in T-shirts basking in the sun.

The neighborhood is preternaturally quiet. I hear zero engines on the other side of the back yards and houses.

Beautiful photos, Mark and Janet.

Happy Holidays!

Terese

I want to know whether lack of snow is general all over Ireland.
