Merry Christmas from OOTJ

To all our readers, Merry Christmas! I wish for you all peace and joy, fun times with family and friends. And whether you celebrate Christmas or not, have a wonderful break.

Today in Massachusetts, we have the remnants of two snow storms, while the temperature is up to 40 degrees. Snow on the trees, outlining each branch and twig, snow blown up the trunks. And the fir trees, with snow piled on each tier, looking like great white hands. When there is this much snow, it’s lighter all the time. When the sun shines, it’s nearly too bright to look at. When it’s a gray day, it’s much less dark, And at night, the street lights and city lights reflect back and forth between clouds and snow, til the night is nearly as bright as day, but kind of orange-tinted.

Wherever you are, and whatever your weather, I hope you have a lovely holiday time!
