Happy New Year!

New Year
Originally uploaded by Taiga the Fox.

Ooh, said the Fox, we had such a jolly Christmas.
Thanks for remembering the Fox family; Dave, BiB, Mimi, Alda, IP and you all.
Special thanks for one Cornish Santa.
After eating too much salmon Taiga Fox tried to build up a massive Lego Viking boat and a huge Midgård dragon.It took approximately six hours to do it and I promise I'll be a dragon myself if someone tries to play with the thing.

Oops,
said the fox.
I seem to have lost my memory, but I can't remember being a host at all. Maybe it was all that wine I sipped. Or perhaps my brain is as shiny as Ice Mummy's.

Anyway, it was nice to see you Dave.
Hopefully the bed was comfy. Also, we still don't have any snow in Helsinki, so I suppose the rest of the Cricket Team was alright too, sleeping in the tents.

Meanwhile I was doing some snow angels here:

It's Tango Delirium Time in Finland

It is the annual time of Little Christmases.
The time when every company, every society, every .. well, you got the point, organizes a party where the employees etc. get massively drunk.
I had mine already, which included fine red wine and brilliant M.A.Numminen & Pedro.

Few days ago I got an e-mail listing some other kind of habits to celebrate. Or if you are not sure if you have had one, you can check here, which kind of Little Christmas it was:

Lord of the Rings - Little Christmas

You remember being separated from your friends,
meeting some elves,
fighting,
talking to the trees,
walking hellishly long distances
and you apparently lost your ring too.

Cinderella - Little Christmas

You arrive at home without your shoe and smell vaguely pumpkin like.

Sleeping Beauty - Little Christmas

You fell asleep and might wake up when somebody, definitely not a prince, kisses you.

Ariel - Little Christmas

In the morning you notice your legs are somehow glued together and you smell like a herring.

Snow White - Little Christmas

You wake up with seven men.

Red Riding Hood - Little Christmas

You share a bed with your granny. More points if it's someone else's granny.

Nocturnal news from Finland

This was the head title of a newspaper today:

Today the sun is shining!
During this December the sun has been shining for 30 minutes, instead of the normal 11 hours.
