Under a blue sky we went out and I used my cross-country skis for the first time this year. The tracks I laid with the snow shoes were great, but the snow is deep and cold enough to be easy to glide. I sent Suzi in after one round of the trails to warm up. But Charlie stayed with me. All the ice is hidden under layers of snow. It’s very challenging to get photos while using ski poles! Today was a day of getting over my resistance to all the Christmas preparations. The cards got mailed. I brought the decorations up for the tree and trimmed it in the afternoon in a quiet house. The holiday seems so strange, unlike any before. I will be curious. I will see what it will be like. If it’s unlike any Christmas holiday than before, then I truly can approach it with a sense of wonder. I wonder what Christmas will be like this year?
