These are a couple of memes going around the Internet about how many of us are running the air conditioning here in December. The weather here is crazy if you ask me. Where is the cold weather? I blame El Nino.
It’s Christmas Eve, a time where many will come together to celebrate this holy season. This evening I will celebrate with family by going to church and getting together to enjoy each others company. I am working a half day too, gotta make a living even on the day before Christmas.
We did survive the storms from yesterday but there are many in the south who are waking up to a different reality and much sadness. Grace and peace to them today.
I hope you all have a great day. God bless you all!
In the northern hemisphere its the first day of Winter. Where I live its 61 degrees so it doesn’t feel like the classic winter temperatures. More than likely there will not be a white Christmas but those are few and far between. I am ready for some colder, more winter-like weather.
The weather in my city lately has been unseasonably warm. Today it feels like what it should be this time of year. I think global warming is a thing. Here’s to the cold weather, very welcome by many.
Tonight we went on an imaginary journey to the north pole from the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. It was a fun trip that made us remember the times when we heard stories of Santa and Mrs. Claus. We enjoyed a voyage like that of “The Polar Express” except we didn’t encounter many caribou. During the trip they gave us a snack and a jingle bell. This is a great holiday attraction that is right here in Chattanooga, Tennessee that families of all types can enjoy. Christmas is better when you do things like this.
Today is also the Feast Day of St. Nicholas so this fun event was very appropriate.
It finally stopped raining here in the Chattanooga area. We have had 3 straight days of it and we haven’t seen the Sun since Friday I think. Rumor has it that it will make an appearance today. I know rain is a necessary thing but when it keeps coming it can be hard to get around. The rain can give you the blues especially if you make your living outdoors. Needless to say I am ready to dry out a bit. Excuse the language of my graphic but the sentiment is real.
