This year the year ends on a long note - the holidays seamlessly transition into festivities, which in turn turn into the next holidays and yet another celebration.
The year has brought a new President and Cabinet of Ministers; the year has given much, to some it has been sunny and bright, to others windy and wet, just as it always is here - in Latvia!
Speaking of forests, our ancestors expressed it quite vividly:
Little fox, little sister
All her skirts are tattered,
All her skirts are torn,
From tramping through bogs and forests
Wishing you a lovely Christmas!
Wishing you a successful New Year and the joy of being, walking, exploring and enjoying Latvia's forests, bogs, lakes, rivers, paths and trails!
