We’ve been searching…
Looking in the old town, there were some bright sparks:
I think this old fella might know a thing or two about it:
The chap above seemed to have some competition from the chap below (we’ve been keeping an eye on him, looks the sort that might attempt a chimney-based home invasion, and he’d be tough to spot…)
Yikes, I found him a little scary and way over my head. I turned to these friendly looking types, but to be honest, whilst they seemed to be in good spirits, it was all rather wheezy and too smoky to get to what they were saying:
Before the big glitter of the big town got too much for me, we retreated into the woods:
I have to say, for me, it was a touch more manageable. A breezy day, so the wind whistled through the treetops, and if I couldn’t make out the words, well I was happy enough with the tenor and tone:
In fact, with a whisper of light snow, and the rattle and rustling of dry leaves, I’d say there were plenty of spirits in the woods. Holiday spirits? Who knows, but it was pretty and peaceful:
To finish, we absolutely found some holiday spirit:
Full(ers) of good things
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Indeed, a colorful infusion of holiday spirits, OPC! Enjoyed the way you blended Old Towne sparkle with the chilling splendor of the local woods, and to top it off with a bottle of Fuller’s– perfect!

Thanks, Walt! It’s a colourful little corner out this way (today aside – a warmish rainy grey day watching the snowpack washing away…no!)

That must be Mrs PC with Scout. It is a lovely picture, as are the dusted leaves in the woods and the frosty trees. It is so pretty with the sun. and Bonhomme Carnaval is someone to look forward to, as well! Enjoy! I must get out and look at the lights.

Great to see all the signs of the holiday in the city, pc, and then the beauty of the woods, too. Enjoyed your fun puns and especially the description of the sounds in the woods–the wind whistling and the dry leaves rattling. It must be great fun for all of you to be frolicking in the snow. Loved that last photo with the triumphant figure ornament. Happy Holidays my friend!

Thanks, Jet! The city seems to like winter and the holiday season! (Not today though, with double digit temps and warm rain washing away the snowpack – I’m a flustered PlaidCamper!)

Love the holiday spirit, beautiful photos and I do believe with this new East Coast persona that your name will be joining Scout on the nice list!!🎄☃️😁 Wonderful you have time to enjoy the relaxing charms of the season whether in old town or on the trails. Santa is so impressed you’ve been looking for him that he keeps giving the gift of winning to Everton. Love the Chilled Tune photo, the cool Holy Smokes and fabulous selection of beers lately. Enjoy the week and thank you for sharing the wonderful holiday spirit!🎄☃️🙂

Thank you – Scout is definitely on the nice list!
Rain here today, and warm rain at that – I’m getting a bit twitchy watching the snowpack wash away! Will no one think of the smoking snowmen?
Everton? On fire! Is it Spurs up next? Uh oh…
Have a great week!
