Advent calendar Box 11

advent calendar 11When I think about what to blog about I go to The Daily Post and look at the daily prompt for inspiration. Then I copy and paste the word and look for quotes on Google containing the word. There are a lot of elegance quotes. I wish I could say something smart that other people will remember generations to come. But I can never think of anything fancy. Not even in my own language. Maybe I have to be famous to get that kind of attention.

Here are a few quotes about Elegance that I found.

“True elegance for me is the manifestation of an independent mind.”
– Isabella Rossellini

“I don’t like women who follow fashion in the sense of becoming victims of it. I like women who have elegance, who have allure, who use fashion, rather than the other way around.” – Giorgio Armani

“The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman.” – Karl Lagerfeld

I could never make up anything like that. But we all got that special thing that no one else can do. Some are good with words and some can be funny. When there are a lot of great sayings or quotes online, you don’t have to make them up yourself. Sometimes others have said things that you could not have said it better yourself but they’re exactly how you feel or think.

advent calendar 9In Europe, we use the metric system. Also, the degree is in Celsius. What cold is, is an opinion. For some even plus 1 Celsius is cold. In Finland, the weather often goes under zero in winter. But this year, it’s been quite rainy. When I was a child there was always a lot of snow in December. We still get snow but it melts away. It has a lot to do with climate change. Some say it’s not real but it is. It affects all of us if you like it or not. In the north there’s is snow but here in the South, we’re not as lucky.

People think it’s OK there isn’t snow. But each to their own. Snow is better than rain. Christmas without snow is like summer without sunshine. I wouldn’t want to spend Christmas in a warm climate. You can’t change the weather. You get what you can. It’s a bit depressive to spend Christmas in the rain. It doesn’t feel very Christmasy. As a Finn, I’m used to having something white on the ground. It doesn’t matter what degree it’s outside. I can live above zero as long as it’s not too warm. There won’t be any snow on Christmas this year since I’ll spend it somewhere else. Even some snow this winter will be enough. There were some of it on independence day. The closest to snow we get next week is sleet and that’s not a very pleasant kind of weather. At least we don’t need to freeze because the degree will be plus something.
