Welcome back! Looks like you had an interesting trip.

Hello, Pond!
Well, not too much snow yet. Only about 6 1/2" of super wet, heavy stuff. At least it won't blow around too terribly much when the wind picks up later. The falling snow will make a mess, though. Still fairly warm, too - about 33*. Quite a lovely day right now, actually.

So, here’s a bit of a story.
I suppose I would describe myself as an agnostic if put under pressure.
The other people who live here are atheists.
My eldest daughter married a very lovely Catholic polish man.
My youngest daughter is living with Kurdish man who is a Muslim.
Christmas eve was spent with my eldest daughters husbands family who I know well. We went to mass and had a traditional ‘Polish’ Christmas eve.
16 at the dinner table.
Christmas day I went with my eldest to her boyfriends family and their friends. Obviously they don’t celebrate Christmas but being in the UK and aware of the importance of the Christmas festival they had arranged a lunch. No table, or chairs; every one had cushions and sat on the floor.
Both events I really enjoyed. Really welcoming and generous people and they don’t have a lot of spare anything.

A comment from some members of my family when I mentioned what I had done over Christmas; ‘but you’re not religious so why would you go to mass?’ My reply, 'I’m not ignorant either’. There are times that I just want to slap people........

Oh my goodness what a wonderful Christmas... Agnostic here but if invite I would gladly go and meet new people and participate if I could.

It didn't show up in my other post, so here is a picture of my winter wonderland. We have big, puffy snow-globe snow flakes coming down. It's very pretty outside right now.

Unless we get some unseasonably warm temperatures, this will be here until spring.
