I'm ready to move into this tropical paradise...it's been so damp, wet and cold out in the real world that I'm thinking it's time to start celebrating Christmas in some part of the world that does not entail shovelling sidewalks, parkas, rubber boots...and snow tires! Yuck!<br /><br />And how is it in your neck of the world, now that the Mayan thing has come and gone...are you experiencing "winter weather"? <br /><br />Merry Christmas Dezzie!

I'm in my home office (aka spare bedroom, formerly Miss CP hideout) and Wee Dog is snuggled up on the bed (keeping it warm for future guests)...there is a smallish window and out it I can see the world turn white. It is a beautiful sight.<br /><br />While I don't ever really "ask" for snow I do welcome it this time of year. As a young girl, growing up in Vancouver, this time of year we would have two to three feet of snow and would be skiing down the side of our house (it gently sloped into our backyard)...those were the days.<br /><br />Mind you, as an adult, who has to drive in this "white stuff" I'm not a fan! Mixed feelings!<br /><br />But, today, I'm going to join Wee Dog and snuggle up with a good book.<br /><br />Merry Christmas.

I like to think I'm handy with my camera but since using my iPhone exclusively as my camera I am now waiting patiently for Santa to bring me a new Canon camera. (I'm a Canon loyalist)<br /><br />After my last pocket camera died it was also time for my phone to be upgraded and thinking wouldn't it be nice to minimize all the "stuff" that I stuff into my purse I went for the combo meal phone! <br /><br />For a while I really thought it was the bee's knees but truth is this iPhone camera, no matter how great I thought it was is lacking the many extra features that can only be found on a great camera.<br /><br />Santa's on it...and in the new year I'll be snapping up a storm. (I would normally say "shooting" up a storm, but it just doesn't see right anymore...)<br /><br />Have a very Merry Christmas, Linda, and a Happy and Healthy New Year too!
