We are now in one of the darkest months of the year. December has always been special to me, and I love decorations and other Christmas-related things. As much as I think it is nice to remove the decorations after New Year’s.

Snowflakes falling. A walk in a temperature below zero degrees with snow and sun. Where the frost has bitten the trees. My dog sniffs for traces of the hare that has just jumped into the snow in the field. Some mulled wine and ginger cookies when I get home. In moments like this, I like to listen to Puccini, which reflects the sharp, severe cold winter weather.

Today, it is Lucia. I still remember many Christmas carols, the nervousness before my verse was to be read, and the candle wax, which unfortunately blurred the text on the paper cuff, so it could not be read.

Ending by sharing some music. Maybe some people from the party last summer will read this. Wasn´t she wonderful, Anna (not me), who sang in the greenery by the blooming fields? Right in the middle of summer.
