Getting into the groove

It's getting better - this morning I woke up at six which is only slightly earlier than what I would do at home, and even eating is a bit better now. It's very dark here, even when we eat breakfast at eight it's pitch black dark outside. But it's also very pretty - there's some snow on the ground and some snow coming from the sky... not a lot, but then again I'm not asking for much. And -6 C outside, as far as I'm concerned that's pretty perfect winter weather - a bit colder would be too cold as I've grown soft in the south, and a bit warmer and the snow turns into slush.

And I can't get over how nice the Christmas tree smells.

It's time to start the family & friends & relatives rounds now. First it's the annual family meeting on my dad's side, followed by the evening with friends, and rest of the week seems to be gathering momentum too. Oh well, I knew it wasn't going to be relaxing.
