Happy happy holidays all!!
And more more more fun and friends at OSA for the next months and years!! 
To the mommas and daddies, good luck scraping the kids off the ceiling after too much candy and pie (mine are still swinging from the chandelier  )
Yavanie: Yay!!!!!!! I recall the year NJ saw so much snow we tunnelled from the house to the garage:))) Maryland this year was just plain  with no pretty snow to make it worthwhile.. But since I got the coolest/warmest pair of socks ever knitted by man or machine, I don't care!

Hehe... Well, the temperature on my little island has somewhat gone up and down this last month, but it's basically the wind that has been bugging us...  |

So, I just educated myself a bit about your hometown and I see that although you are a bit further north than I am (I'm at 59-40N) your weather today looks a lot like ours--windy and rainy. If you are like me, you probably prefer snow to rain in the winter. After all, snow brushes off--rain soaks in 
Our "official" weather--taken at the airport (often taken by me, as a matter of fact) can differ from what we have at home, as we live about eight hundred feet above and five miles west of town. The airport is warmer (being close to the bay, which rarely freezes over) and calmer (being sheltered from winds by the very bluff we live on)
I don't mind the winds all that much except when it screws up our television and/or power or blows so hard that it makes sleeping difficult.
Your daylight hours are about the same as Fairbanks or Nome here in Alaska (both places I have lived) so I know you are right in the middle of those winter days where if you oversleep, you miss the sun...lol Well, not quite but I remember many days of going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark when I lived in Fairbanks.
What winter holidays do you folks use to enliven the dark months?

Sorry Moon Raven, for answering so late... doh. 
Actually no, I prefer rain over snow in the winter... the reason being, it snows so awfully much here during the winter, it gets so hard to get around! Especially for drivers... I don't have a car myself, but it's still difficult... 
A little bit of snow is nice though, if there isn't too much of it on the roads & pavements... 
Oh and btw, Reykjavík is at 63°N. 
What winter holidays, you ask? Well... just Christmas, I suppose.  Nothing else, really. |
