Season's Greetings 2012
 
A white Christmas in Tallin
Norm sends his Christmas greetings, he reports: Tiiu and I are spending Christmas in the Baltics (Tallinn, Estonia)for the first time since 1993, when we lived in Vilnius, Lithuania. We are here for 3 weeks, including New Year, which required me to drag along my tux. We will be spending time at concerts and other events with family and friends. We saw the sun at noon today, low in the southern sky. It set about 3:30pm, but there is a long twilight this far north. The video, taken and posted to youtube by a Finn (who lives even farther north than the 60 degrees of Tallinn) was brought to our attention by a Finnish friend who has had the pleasure of spending Christmases in Washington, DC and Boston.
