I was complaining the other day about our sunny weather, which is very unlike me because I love our blue skies and all the sunshine we're blessed with for the greatest part of the year. But when Christmas is round the corner, I really don't mind rainy days and colder nights. Yesterday, all of a sudden, a storm broke out and the temperature dropped considerably. Despite my fear of storms - thunder, lightning, thunderbolt - I enjoyed reading Faulkner by the fireplace while listening to my favourite Christmas Carols.
Christmas is that time of year when we are all looking forward to spending time with family and getting presents. Although I look forward to getting many presents, all I really want for Christmas is spending some more time with Alkis and friends I haven't seen in a long time.
What do you want for Christmas?
All I want for Christmas is having some of our traditional mince pies here in the States! I know I'll miss home this Christmas. I can't help lingering on to listen to your beautiful Christmas Carols. Great blog!

Hello from frozen Athens where temperatures have dropped dramatically within 24 hours. It's just the perfect weather for putting up the Christmas tree. Besides I am inspired by your lovely Chistmas background and music. Oh by the way, I want the Apple ipad and a pair of leather boots for Christmas.

I have given your URL to all my friends and family and I hope they are reading your blog.:-)
I'm still in Hong Kong for work and I'd rather stay here for Christmas. The wether's really nice despite some showers.

What a lovely song by Aretha Franklin. She is by far the queen of soul. I don't want much for Christmas - just another dog, a Dalmatian puppy maybe. And above all a holiday season filled with love and happiness for everyone.
