Before holiday festivities divert and interrupt our normal hobby activities, I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. With space in the library cleared, the tree is up and trimmed. One week before Christmas is still too early to place all of the gifts under the tree so the space surrounding the tree is a bit barren.
With two weeks remaining in 2024, there still remains plenty of time to paint a few more figures and play one more game or two before closing out the books on 2024. The gaming table saw another Azukizaka reply on Tuesday with at least one more game on the horizon.

While we saw a light snowfall on Monday dropping enough to warrant shoveling, chances to see a White Christmas are low. In a weak La Niña winter, the Pacific Northwest often sees wetter yet colder conditions. This Christmas, forecasts suggest a wet and mild Christmas but not a white Christmas. Looks like plenty of rain for the holiday. Perfect weather for a few meaningful painting sessions in the early morning quiet.
Merry Christmas to you and yours, Jon. No snow here. Just more rain!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Jon. Cold and clear here in La belle France. No chance of snow for the big day as far as I can see. Thanks for a great years entertainment - here’s to the next one!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you and your family Jonathan. Wishing you a joyous festive season.
ReplyDeleteThe weather will be what it will be. Just need to make every day a sunny one for ourselves and those around us.
Wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and New Year Jon. Sounds like you might get a bit of painting in!!
ReplyDeleteWeather here is wet and windy, with temperatures up and down but no chance of any white stuff. But then white Christmases are prettty rare hereabouts, with most of our snowfall in the new year.
ReplyDeleteNice all-red design for the tree this year. Presume, given the local landscape, it's a real one?
Merry Christmas ! Looking forward to the games updates and glad you're painting! Pretty warm here for the time of year, so all good!

Merry Christmas, Jonathan! Our tree goes up today. Gifts underfoot do help with the mood, if wrapped puppy proof. It does sound as if you have the rest of the year to do the right things: family, paint & play. Report in as you wish, but enjoy the season as it unfolds.
