A Yuletide Slumber

It's Christmas Day once again--the 11th one since I started this blog and the first mostly normal Christmas in three years, given the last two have been under the spectre of COVID in some respect.  This year, the most harrowing aspect of the holidays is the especially extreme winter conditions that a lot of the country is experiencing.  Meanwhile, in Southern California, it's hitting the 80's.  Go figure.  Call it the Law of Balance?  In any case, whether you're celebrating the holiday in comfortable warmth or a true wintry environment, may your Christmas be a warm, happy, safe, and heartfelt one, full of joy wherever you find it.  Here's another Sleeping Beauty Winter Castle photo to cap the day!
