This year will be the first Christmas that I've ever spent somewhere sunny and warm. Because Alice's radiation schedule only gives her one day off, there's no New Mexican frost and/or snow this year; no Eldorado winter sunsets; and nor is there any dark grey chilly damp London, either. So I feel very disconcerted by the blue sky, the foliage, the bougainvillea in full bloom - and all of this coupled with Christmas trees and illuminated tree trunks and lit-up stripy candy canes and wreaths and white-wire reindeer and snowmen. I can't really complain very wholeheartedly, however, since it's undoubtedly a treat to go for a walk in warm sun on the shortest day of the year.
