3 degrees C is a cake walk now. Pleasantly and refreshingly balmy even with the wind up and the rain. And rumour is it's going to get much hotter over the week, perhaps 8 degrees C or more.

It is indeed a European thing. A couple of years ago I was doing some last minute shopping on Christmas Eve and after 4 pm the streets emptied in about 5 minutes flat.

It's wonderfully quiet now. Not a sound to be heard. Snowing but not settling yet. There's hope for a white Christmas Day yet. Santa brought a new camera so I'm hoping to get some practice on scenery shots tomorrow.

It must be a European thing, a friend always did the same, she's got relatives in the Czech republic and they always celebrated Christmas today so she grew up having Christmas two days in a row

White Christmas

'Walking in a winter wonderland.'

We've got a white Christmas, its chocking it down here. Christmas is celebrated today in Germany where in the afternoon, families get together and open the presents and sit down to a large meal. Frau D. is currently working but when she gets home we go and visit the inlaws, listen to carols round the tree, eat cake and drink coffee then open the presents. Tomorrow I have a number of German friends round where I'll be cooking a traditional English Christmas meal along with plenty of refreshment and fun and games (wii, PS2 and xBox games.)

On New Year I normally celebrate twice, First the German one and then an hour later the British one but this year I've decided to celebrate every time zone

Have a good one...
