Christmas-y kind of weather

This weather bespeaks Christmas to me....misty, cold, and wet.  It's the essence of winter here on the west coast, and makes you especially anxious to sit by the fire with a hot drink and maybe some twinkly lights nearby.  But every once in while I like to walk to the fence line that borders our pasture, feel the spray of mist on my face, and see the green hills blanketed in a pale shroud along our property line.  

We may not have a white Christmas very often, but sometimes a green Christmas is not so bad.
