Merry Christmas, dear friends! โค๐๐
Sorry for belated wishes. Just before Christmas I was fully occupied with science, and as soon as I got days off, I took a break from a computer and spent time sleeping, meeting friends, and being outdoors as much as possible.
The topic of my posts is Portugal, but as I write with a delay, I want to ‘squeeze’ the more recent post in between. โบ
I spent Christmas here in Finland. This year we did not get a ‘white’ Christmas, which means there was no snow, at least in Turku. It is a bit sad because this holiday is so much about real winter, Joulupukki (Finnish Santa) and reindeer.
But we had a proper winter just a couple of weeks ago, and I want to share these pictures with you! โ
And how did you spend Christmas? Were you lucky enough to get snow? โ
Very pretty

Are you a scientist too? That’s so great to hear! What’s your field of research? As you can imagine no white Christmas here in Portugal but it was a great sunny one. Happy New Year! ๐

Beautiful! We had hoped to get snow for Christmas but didn’t this year. We just had our first good snow here in the mountains of North Carolina (US).
