Merry Christmas From the Yukon
It’s just before 8:00, over 2 hours until sunrise, but there’s just the teeniest bit of light in the sky from the almost-full moon that’s partly hidden by clouds. There isn’t a sound here – it’s as peaceful as it is beautiful.
It doesn’t really feel like Christmas Day for us – I suppose that with a million things still to do after our move 3 weeks ago, Christmas has just never made the priority list. We didn’t buy any gifts this year, even for each other.
Luckily the previous owners of the property left a few lights on the house, so I was able to just go to the barn for the ladder to hook up an extension cord to them a few minutes ago.
We’re off to a neighbour’s house at 11, though, and then my son and his partner are coming for dinner, so we’ll get into Christmas before the day is out, I’m sure. 🙂
To my family, who are mostly in Kelowna today, to Cathy’s family in Ontario, and to all of our friends around the world, we send best wishes for a wonderful holiday.
