I think the days off right after Christmas are the best - when you have absolutely no pressure on pressies, guests, cleaning up, cooking, work. The kids are sleeping in and waking up slowly, the house is quiet. I found myself stuck on a couch knitting all morning - which is one of the things I do to empty my head and relax.

In the afternoon me and daughter H had a good hour and a half ski trip - and I swear I saw the sun coming out and all the frozen droplets in the trees where glimmering. Even Hanna found it very beautiful. When we finally got back and my camera out the sun was long gone behind the clouds but the ice droplets still there.

I hope you are all enjoying the last days of the year!
