The weather on this Christmas Eve was so mild, overall, that it could be called a December thaw. Consider this:

at 5 pm, CST, only an estimated 1/2 of 1% of the land area in the USA had temperatures 32 or lower. (This does not count Alaska)

This estimate is by computers...not me.

5 o'clock temperatures varied from 25 at Gunnison, Colo., to a very warm 86 at Ontario, Calif.

A FEW 5 PM SPOT REPORTS
Chicago...37 light rain and fog
New York...49 clear (Central Park)
Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW Airport) 63 clear and windy
Houston 70 partly sunny
Denver 46 partly sunny
Orlando 68 clear
Asheville, N.C., 43 clear
Birmingham 52 moderate rain and fog, an additional 0.20 rainfall in the last hour

This temporary warmup probably no indication of what the overall winter will be like.

Pathetic question, I know, but does anyone know how you beat cream cheese until it's fluffy? Mine is not fluffing.
It's a Wonderful Life is on the mini tv I have in the kitchen. Good Christmas stuff.
Perhaps I should consult a cooking site...
