Christmas at Curt, Sharon, and Matt's
   by Curt Wikstrom

      We are having an unusually cold and snowy Christmas this year.  This much snow happens only once every several years at our place.  The lower pictures are from Matt's house in Anacortes.  The children are having a good time sliding down the street.  That is normal in Sweden and Minnesota.  But it is a treat for children here.
     Portland and Wilsonville Oregon are closed down.  Planes are not landing, and the garbage hasn't been picked up in a couple of weeks.  Fortunately, Christy picked up food for all of us for Christmas, so there is food in the house.  They will have something to eat until the town can move again.   We won't be able to travel there.
     The top and bottom pictures are Matthew's Christmas drawings for this year.  They are used on our website at www.wiktel.com

     Have a Merry Christmas and Happy new year!!
