Out here in California, the weather has been clear and a bit cold in the morning, but warm during most of the day.  Fine stuff, but hardly Christmas weather.  

However, I saw this picture on the internet, a view of the road going out to Brudskär in western Finland. For some reason this strikes me as a classic holiday scene, and sometimes I think I would prefer this to the green and sunny weather we have here at home.  Of course, that's what everyone says who doesn't have to live in the white stuff every day for months, but too bad, that's the way I feel about it today.
