Celebrate new ways, Elf dragonboaters ply Snow-sparkly waters.

Step with light and dark Winter solstice snow-dancing Furiously, softly.

Wishing you sparkly-special wishes for peace in your heart and for a memorable Christmas.
Thanks, Jean! 🙂 Texas – depending on where you live – can be really cold, too, with snowstorms, like in the Panhandle around Lubbock and Amarillo, the so-called “High Plains”. Here, in “South Central Texas”, the Texas Hill Country, our winters tend to be milder. We do have sojme frost, sometimes even for more than just a few days, but snow is rare.
A Merry Christmas to you and all of yours, too,
Pit
Walk deep into hearts. Journey into the twilight. Starlit path with friends. Really liked this stanza, Jean. Nothing like being there for others and others being there for you. It’s a great feeling. Looks very festive over there, and wow, you have snow already. Keep warm and stay warm. Wonderful shots all round 🙂
Yes, great time to be with friends and loved ones, if at all possible. Our first snowfall was in late Sept. which would accelerate the fall leaf colour. Actually the snow photos you see…were taken that month. Merry Christmas, Mabel and best wishes for 2019.
I enjoyed composing this post. In the spirit of Christmas…may 2019 continue to have times of merriment and peace. It’s almost spring, so it can’t get worse.
Great pictures to introduce the season: I feel Christmas coming! 🙂

Merry Christmas, Pit and for your family also. Texas is probably slightly cool?

Am hoping you get a dusting of snow on Christmas Eve or Day, just to add to the ambiance. 🙂
