So here it is, 7:30 AM, gold relentless sun in a blue sky, over... sand-colored sand. Predicted high: 75 degrees. And I suppose that this is more true to actual Christmas weather (well, coming in Spring, perhaps, the most likely time of Jesus' birth) than back-East style weather. But the back-Easters have better PR, so everyone pines for snow, and brick houses, and trees all over the place. Well Merry Christmas to you, Dear Reader, no matter your situation. May God pop up on your radar sometime in this season of good will and hope.
