So far, December has been unseasonably warm, characterized by gray and rainy weather; we’ve only enjoyed one sunny day here in southern Finland. The dreariness of the skies affects my mood, it really does. However, we did go to Helsinki to see live music and on the way we saw the season’s festive lights in Helsinki, which I found to be quite tastefully arranged, stylish would be my word. I snapped a few iPhone photos to preserve the memories, but unfortunately, none turned out well in terms of quality—they’re all somewhat blurry. I’ll attribute this to the frigid weather; the biting wind was so cold it left me shivering, making it hard to hold the camera steady.

Agreed, these are very festive lights Ritva.

What beautiful lights Ritva! We are having the same weather here in California. Damp and dismal, and not helping my recovery from my back issue. I’m waiting for the sun to come out. It’s been 2 weeks! Happy Holidays!!
Happy holidays Anne, we are expecting this to continue… but in spite of this Xmas is coming 🎅
😍
But at least you’re not getting constant rain, as we are?
We have has rain nearly every day. Drizzle, downpour and yes. This is not what I want in December.
Quite!
