post holidays

Today started with sunshine and blue sky, but ended with wind and cold rain. I think I am spoiled by the weather here in southern California. I am pretty miserable whenever the temperature and the rain drops. I already forgotten how I survived the eight winters in Finland...

Christmas is over, the holiday fever, the excitement is settling down. I enjoy the post holiday time, doing nothing, feeling a bit guilty of over-eating but secretly happy that I have set myself free. So free that I finished a whole box of chocolate all by myself.

I still have some gift wrapping paper and ribbons left, I knew I wouldn't have needed all these when I bought them, but they look so nice, prettier than some of the gifts. Time to store them together with all the Christmas ointments when it is time to store them, maybe next weekend... Tomorrow we are going to the mountain with snow, the Finnish man in the house misses snow and the kids wants to visit Peter Rabbit.
