Weather: A perfect Christmas Eve Day

I've been up since 5:30 am and the day before Christmas has become a glorious day in Houston. Clear blue skies (after scruffy low clouds earlier this morning), 62 degrees, and a scattering of autumn leaves across the lawn.

I can't imagine more perfect pre-Christmas weather -- unless it were clear, snowy, and 10 degrees (nippy enough to make your nose hairs freeze when you step outside). But not in Houston.
