We spent Christmas at my parents’ house in the woods.  My sister and her family also came up from California to celebrate with us.  Christmas eve dinner: crab bisque.

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.”

When I read Sunday’s forecast of a “Wintry Mix” on Weather.com, I thought “What is this holiday-induced, eggnog-inspired, TV weatherman nonsense?  Just tell me if we’re having rain or snow!” I quickly went to NOAA for a REAL weather forecast only to find they had, um, predicted the same thing.  Turns out Wintry Mix is a real (albeit somewhat informal) meteorological term, meaning “rain or snow, or freezing rain – we’re not really sure what it’ll be”.  And there you go.
