Abandoned - Sugar and Spice - Story 23 NWS

[Glenn]

Thank you Abandoned for another lovely story and merry Christmas to you and all.

Another year is gone, and it's already 8.10am on Christmas Day.
It's a lovely summer morning, the sky is blue, not a cloud in sight, with a comfortable 24C expected.
There's not a sound to be heard with the only noise so far this morning being the sound of the recycling truck doing its household pick ups.

May everyone stay safe, be happy, and if you drink, do so in moderation.

Merry Christmas @Glenn

It is early Christmas Eve here, just going on 3:30.  It has been dreary all day, no rain and not cold enough for snow, 36F.  It is hard to believe it is near the end of December already. Hopefully next year will be better for one and all.

Thank you  @kid1293  for making the Christmas Mod and its many updates, and for now updating Nordic Houses with the Christmas Mod roof texture.  God Jul, Kid

@Abandoned  Min dator är nere @taniu. Nu kunde min man och jag läsa dina vackra berättelser och vackra, stämningsfulla julvideor. Vi gillade det vackra norrskenet och julsången "Stilla natt Julsang" - vi sjunger också den här julsången. Vi hoppas att du fortsätter att skriva underbara berättelser om våra förvisade. Må poesins musa vara med dig och allt gott. Med vänliga hälsningar

@Abandoned  The second version in English for fans who don't know Swedish, although this message is for you, other fans also respect each other very much and read your stories.
Today, my husband and I were able to read your beautiful stories and lovely, atmospheric Christmas videos. We enjoyed the beautiful aurora borealis and the carol "A Tale of Silent Night" – we sing it too. Unfortunately, we've never seen the aurora borealis in person, but we have rainbows after rain, which are also beautiful. We hope you'll continue to write wonderful stories about our "Banished." May the muse of poetry be with you and all the best. Best regards.

@taniu  What lovely messages, thank you and your wife also.

And thank you for the translation.    I actually do not know Swedish, only some words I learned from @kid1293. I do recognize some of the words in your Swedish message.  I wanted to make it a Swedish Christmas story to thank Kid for the Christmas mod he made.  I really enjoyed all the Swedish Christmas music videos I listened too; I had a hard time deciding which ones to put in the story.

I wish you and your wife a very happy and healthy 2026

@Abandoned   Thank you for your well wishes.   We apologize for the slight error. The Swedish Christmas carols moved us so much that we thought you were from Sweden, but you're actually from the USA.Regards
