Merry Christmas to all! I hope you enjoy this day very much. 

Mery Christmas (and Happy Holidays if you do not celebrate it) to you and your beloved ones 🎄

Merry Christmas to all those who are celebrating and Happy Holidays to those who are not! 

Mery Christmas (and Happy Holidays if you do not celebrate it) to you and your beloved ones 🎄

Merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating the holidays here on Totallympics! Hope it is a good one  

Ugh, saying bye to your partner on some inhumanely early time on Christmas morning, meh. But oh well, races have to be done and one prerequisite in order to do cross-country skiing races is, you know, snow, so not much of a choice
 
Hoping to have a "I arrived safely" message right around the time my parents and I start our Christmas dinner, that would ease everyone's mind
 
Merry Christmas to everyone and as always, enjoy the undoubtedly exaggerated amounts of food and stuff

Merry Christmas to you all. Yes in Sweden  the big day is today December 24, Christmas Eve. 

Decent team, on european level ofc. In a normal tournament would certainly be a Quarterfinal contender.
 
In a NHL level gonna be, hard slash impossible, to keep the rhythm for the guys though, but definitely a nice roster on a WCh level for sure.
 
Nice satisfaction for Bellemare, one great last dance for this huge hockey legend. Fully deserved. He and Da Costa + Texier have possibilities to provide something and surprise some defences also in Milano.

Yep, the amount of emergency services I heard at some point was a little extreme (for our little town), so I checked what was going on and saw they were all being called to a specific location. Until then I thought maybe it was part of a parade of trucks and agricultural vehicles that was on it's way from the next town over, decorated with lights and stuff.
 
Since I knew it was on the parade route, I was sure one of those big vehicles had hit people somehow (there were, besides the many vehicles, also two helicopters on the way, meaning it certainly wasn't about a single victim).
 
We picked our bikes and went to take a look, absolutely chaos in the area. Never saw so many services combined together, fire trucks from 20km away, ambulance after ambulance came racing by, people frantically trying to make way for them (the roads weren't really closed yet).
 
While there we heard someone who had been close say that the parade hadn't arrived yet and what seemed to have happened was that a car from the other side came onto the roundabout and simply never turned. "It's a massive drama over there, unbelievable", he said.
 
Quite quickly rumours started spreading of course, the first one turned out to be true: a middle aged (local) woman was behind the wheel and seems to have become unwell. Local security camera showed the car going at high speed right before the roundabout.
 
Plenty of rumours going around in terms of who were involved of course, and people keeping each other up to date to see if they know this or that family and such...
 
Never expected my little town to be big news in the Netherlands, even including some breaking broadcasts, live reporters and everything, damn. By far the biggest thing to happen here in my memory
