Here in the Twin Cities we’re experiencing a record-breaking warm (and snowless) December and Christmas. And it’s raining:

Rained on Christmas Eve, too, so Santa had to use his raindeer.
Pretty crazy weather, but better than -10° with a foot of snow to shovel!
Remember: Today is the beginning of The Twelve Days of Christmas.
Almost two weeks of Chillaxmas! Enjoy!!
Stay merry, my friends! Go forth and spread beauty and light.

We had rain for a little while and now there is about 3-4 inches of snow. It also snowed a dusting here and more south for Christmas Eve. Enjoy.

So, you got at least something of a white Christmas. Ours was decidedly brown, although the grass is generally green from the rain. Looks weird with all the leafless trees. Sorta winter and sorta not.
Merry Chillaxmas! 🎅🏼🥂

Raindeer — cute.

Yep. My dad was a Lutheran minister. He got fed up with church politics and quit to become a printer and small book publisher. The printshop was called Potpourri Printers, the book publishing was Xenos Books, but he first thought of (ta, da) Christos Books. At the time, with some graphics tool I had back then, I started mucking around with a 3D logo:
Haven’t thought of that in decades until you mentioned it. Had to search for the image file!
