First we didn't have any winter, just rain and darkness. Well, now we have a bit of snow, today was very bright sunshine and yes - it's freezing cold (-17C atm).
Christmas was. As per usual, most of us were sick. I wasn't. Not very festive feeling, when 4 out of six of family members had fever, sore throat, headaches, cough, sneezes... Oh well, it IS a tradition in our family.
I wish you all a very happy and peaceful new year!
