Hard to imagine! Here in San Jose we're cooler than much of the country, it appears. Merry Christmas, Terilyn.

Is that picture today? Looks to be a fun day! Yep, CA is too cool for swimming this year, tho' we have had plenty of warm Christmases. Happy Day to you and your family, Terrilyn.

Merry Christmas from southern Ohio--with the recent weather we can almost do the same.

So cool to swim on Christmas and not at a resort. We pulled out summer clothes for our Christmas duds today and turned on the air conditioning. Merry Christmas.

Terrylynn. where in Texas? I am in rockport... nice and warm out. :)

We are in Magnolia, just Northwest of Houston.

Moni, did you see the 'Big Tree' while you were in Rockport? There is a lovely nugget of a park right across the street from Wal-Mart on highway 35 too.

I'm with Marilyn. It could stay warm all winter, then get really warmer come spring and summer. I don't like cold weather.

Yes, we saw the big tree... just wait for the pictures...and we were already in the park across from walmart too. :)

We've had unusually balmy weather - just a flick or two of snow, earlier, but warm and green Christmas.

When I see men walking with hands stuck into pockets, I ask them what's up with the hands in pockets - getting in practice for winter?

And suggest to a number of folks that I meet in passing, that if they're in charge of ordering weather ... that they can keep doing this till March, if they like.

Usually elicits a smile .. and often a comment in reply.
