Winter wonder land...

... MY ASS.

So I arrive to the motherland, this year in time (thanks AirBerlin for not leaving me in Central Europe this time). Happy to be here, the only problem is this:

let it snow let it snow let it snow goddamned

Now, I wouldn't exactly call this the typical scenery from my childhood Christmases. Nor would I call it a Finnish winter scene in general. What I would call it is a scary vision of the climate change and the fact that every year Santa will have more and more trouble getting around. Pulling the sleigh must be a real drag in this watery landscape from reindeer hell.

Gots to be positive though. Thanks to the warm weather they didn't have ice in the Berlin airport ( we all know how a little ice can be dangerous to a 50 ton aeroplane). Thanks to the warm weather this is the only picture I'll take of the motherland to show back in Italy, and I'll save electricity and time. Thanks to the warm weather I only had to put on a light woolly hat today when I went out, and I only had small scratch marks on my forehead (the wool feels really nice on bare skin folks).

Mom just came in and invited me to come and drink some "glögi" with the rest of the family, and then I'm off to the sauna. Again, despite of the weather conditions:
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, MAY IT BE PEACEFUL AND WARM.
Just like a Finnish winter.
