One of the things I love about living in Newfoundland is that Christmas is a fantastic party. Here the 12 days of Christmas are celebrated by lovely scoffs at one house or another from a few days before Christmas right to "Old Christmas Day" on January 6th.
Hugh and I started decorating the first week, adding lights inside and out, collecting limbs and boughs, spraypainting branches and our home made Christmas trees and stars. We celebrated with dinner parties, coffee parties and card games and of course, Joanne's personal favorite, a grand night out for New Year's Eve. We attended a dinner and dance at the Barbour Heritage Village and had a great time! Welcome 2011!!
The weather has been outstanding with a green Christmas and still no snow that has stayed. We have had some fair storms though! Good Southeasters in with winds up to 100 km and lots of rain! These storms played havoc with our dock moving it out at one corner about 4 feet. But that's the subject of Wednesday's blog!
