A rose has sprung

A Rose has sprung from a tender root,

From Jesus, as those of old have sung,

And it bore a flower,

In the middle of a cold winter,

When half spent was the night.

Christmas peace ♥

Dear all,

it has been such a pleasure to learn to know you a little bit through your blogs and to read your always kind and interesting comments on my posts. I'm so thankful for all of you! 

I may not have time for another post before Christmas and that's why I want today to wish peace of heart and the stillness of Christmas eve to you and your loved ones... not only for Christmas but for all days. In Finnish: Joulurauhaa!

♥  Merry Christmas!  ♥  Buon Natale!  ♥

♥  Hyvää ja rauhallista joulua kaikille lukijoille!  ♥

Still dreaming...

... of a white Christmas, that is. This morning the ground and the very thin ice were powdered with snow.

The shortest day of the year is not far away now. According to timeanddate.com, Winter Solstice in Helsinki is on Tuesday, 22 December 2015, 06:49 EET.

After that a little bit of light will be gained every day. :)

Wordless Wednesday (on Tuesday)

Enjoy your weekend and

have a lovely 3rd Sunday of Advent!

December

This is how December should look! We practically don't have snow yet. It has been snowing already several times, but every time the snow has melted away.

We do enjoy the month though... wrapping gifts, baking, receiving nice parcels from relatives and friends, and decorating the home. :)
