Xmas in Elvenar

[McBratty]

Love this post! Yay McB. Oooo love the idea of Chrissy avatars.

I think it would go a long way towards adding some festive cheer to an otherwise miserable world.

Sorry about the snow guys but living in the tropics I have a very romantic view of snowfall. You know the whole Christmas card ( remember when we used to send those) scene. Sitting at the window looking at the snow falling while sipping on a hot chocolate with a fire crackling in the background. Ahhhh...instead its sweat ur arse off over here lol

Until you realize that 2 feet of snow has dropped outside and you have to shovel it....welcome to my world

I live Inner City so any Snowfall we get is quickly melted. So when we DO get a good load (which is rare) im like a 5yr old getting the mittens and wellies on and running outside to build a snowman

Yes, it's romantic like that on a Sunday afternoon but then on Monday morning at 6 AM you have to get a shovel and go unbury your car so you can go to work. Sometimes you're not even sure if it's your car that you'll discover under the big pile you're shovelling on, might be the neighbours

Wellies? Those are rubber boots, yeah? Haha Haha no thanks frostbite is no joke, I like having 10 toes.

Yes indeed ''wellies'' are indeed rubber boots to keep the feet/legs at least dry. Usually at least one size larger than the feet being enclosed to make ample room for large fluffy socks, to at least get some warmth

Not an issue for most of Oz fortunately. I still have romantic visions of snowy Christmas scenes though, from my childhood when Christmas cards were huge part of communicating with remote family and loved ones. I'm getting nostalgic thinking about it. It's a different world now.

Be careful of shovelling snow (so I have read anyway):
