I like his beard and moustache. This time of year I look forward to the winter solstice. It’s always nice to round the corner and start seeing longer daylight hours.

Thank you so much! I enjoy a bit of hibernation during the short dark days. It makes the appearance of longer days all the more special. 🙂
