Feeling thankful to now be safe and warm inside with 3/5 kids and knowing that the other two are also safe and warm although unable to travel home for the holiday.

We might not have a white Christmas, we we have a very white Christmas eve eve and (freezing rain notwithstanding), it is beautiful).

Sending good thoughts for anyone who is travelling or does not have a safe and warm place to be.

Today’s adventures in Christmasing… Canal building! Achieving streamflow was surprisingly satisfying.
@Telias I always got a lot of pleasure out of that too! (currently feeling pleasure about no snow, period) but I loved that engineering phase of melt!

@compostablespork Totally! We even built boats and raced them down our canal (if I was smart enough I could post the video, doh!)

My canoe was faster than both the youngest’s big “trad boat” and son’s x-wing.

@Telias this is truly impressive! (both the boat building AND your victory!)
