Rudolph Day

Happy Rudolph Day everyone and what a beautiful morning to wake up to! Sun is shining, there was frost on the ground when walking the dogs and I badly missed my gloves and hat, winter is finally here!

Just hoping the rain stays away for the next couple of days so we can get our outdoor lights & decorations up! The cold is grand, its the rain that makes it difficult!!

Happy Rudolph Day! 😊

Like TRS said, not hard to do something Christmassy today. I'll put the finishing touches to the decorations, hang the stairs garland and I'm getting a Chinese take away later. 🙂

Nothing says Christmas like a Chinese 😂

Only joking, however who wants to cook over Christmas, other then the day itself!

Today I had Christmas fm on in work all morning, singing and all, and I wore Christmas socks.

Also just bumped into my SIL in the supermarket so got chatting about Christmas plans (they're coming to us) and it all felt nice and normal.

I finished my Rudolph day off by putting up our wreath and all external lights. Feeling very festive now 😁

Hard to beleive this time one month ago, I was back from the butchers with turkey and ham in tow. While January has moved well this year, it feels alot longer than a month ago it was Christmas Eve.

The difference of speed from Nov 24th to Dec 24th and Dec 24th to Jan 24th is telling. Nov-Dec feels like 2 days, Dec-Jan felt like 2 months.

Has been a crazy month. Today feels like the first 'normal' day in ages, kids all in school, OH and I working and no Covid related issues to worry about.

Not sure what I'll do for tomorrow. A turkey, stuff and cranberry sambo sounds very tempting though.

I maybe wearing Christmas socks today in anticipation of tomorrow 😂

For me this has been the fastest January (albeit with a week still to go) in quite some time. Christmas doesn't seem that long ago to me funnily enough, though I suspect the 12 days isolating just switched my brain onto autopilot so I don't register them as full days or suchlike!! genuinely cant remember a January that breezed by this quickly without me reminiscing over the festive season just gone.

I think the mildness of the weather has been a factor too, it's not too cold to go outside, and with the mild days it feels like the evenings even got brighter, quicker.

I for one am not complaining that the most crappy month of the year is almost gone.

I always find this one a sad Rudolph day

First one after Christmas and lingering bits still in the house with the empty void from the recently removed decorations

Blue Monday could be blue rudolph day

Posy

Very true. There is a definite 'looking back' rather than 'looking forward' element to the January Rudolph Day. Falling on a Tuesday isn't going to make it especially cheery either.

The 25th February will be a Friday, so that already feels like it will be more cheerful. 😁

Maybe the first Rudolph Day of 2023 will be happier if we get our promised bank holiday! 🥳

DvB

The Feb one is a personal favourite of mine. Great that it's a Friday this time around.

Happy Rudolph day all.

Only 10 more to go!

Happy Rudolph Day everyone! Can't believe January is almost over, it flew 😄🦌

CheerLouth

Happy Rudolph Day, one and all! On the one hand, I can't believe it's only been a month since Christmas Day, it feels so much longer! On the other hand, January has flown past this year!
