Another winter, another Christmas day, bringing us near to the end of another year. Both Tina Hyrkas and Paul Talvensaari over in our Guest Gallery had the same idea in getting a closeup of the frost hanging onto the pine trees, on this sub-zero morning. Our way to wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas, from all of us here at Pasty Central.

Wishing all a Merry Christmas
Peace be with you!

Merry Christmas everyone!! Nice pictures of pine needles, just like the ones all over my front room floor!

I have family in Knoxville Tn. My late sister (Koski) lived in Sevierville. What a coincidence!

Merry Christmas and hope all have a prosperous New Year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 'Elvira', wherever you are, and everyone else making this site so wonderful...

A very cool looking picture from the bridge cam this morning.

Interesting picture of the bridge

Merry Christmas from Tennessee. Ours isn't as pretty as your but we do have snow and 10 degrees this morning.

I just came in from taking photos of our snow!!!Here in south Texas. This is on the Gulf coast! I know yoopers wouldn't be impressed with 3-4" of snow. But it's been since 1890's since last snow even near this. Will be interesting how locals are handling it. Oh well it'll be gone this afternoon. Merry Christmas to the wonderful crew that makes Pasty.com the great place that it is. And to the neat people I've met thru it. I feel like I know you all. God bless all of you in 2005.

A very merry Christmas and joyful holiday season to all.

merry christmas from the prairie

John,mi -- are you revealing your age? I didn't know anyone had a "front room" anymore. I remember opening presents on Christmas morning in the "front room" around a blazing fire and having company over later sitting more formally in the "parlor". Now everyone seems to have a "living room" or a "family room" or a "great room". ;>)

You bring back fond memories of Christmas' past with your comment. Think I'll go sit in the "front room" and wait for the grand kids to show up.

"Over the river and thru the woods,
In our SUV we'll go!"

Merry Christmas everyone! Next week it is supposed to be in the 40's here in south central wi, boy does that suck. Have a great Christmas day! Later, Skylar.

Merry Christmas from a very chilly snow covered Ohio.

Merry Christmas from a couple of UP-ers (Bessemer)from Reston, Virginia...about 20 miles outside the nation's Capitol...no snow here...but I turned to the Pasty Cam and the MTU cams and the Marquette Lower Harbor cam to get the some real "snow at Christmas " scenes..thanks for the great pictures everyday !
Best wishes to all viewers of this site for a great 2005.

"Merry Chistmas to All" from the wet sunshine state.

Merry Christmas from Colorado, Might be movig there, have to check the cam everyday :)

Merry Christmas Pasty People, and thank you for all the time you spend on, and for this site!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS everyone! Love and Light! Share your Wings!

Merry Christmas to all! Pray for those serving in Iraq and Afganistan.
A special thanks to all those vets who were on the ground and who took to the air 60 years ago today in the Ardennes and on down to the Vosges Mountains! You know who you are and we all owe you.

Merry Christmas everyone. Thank you for giving us this wonderful site to visit and learn and enjoy.

Merry Christmas to all of the Vitton and Mulvey clans in the U.P. and Wisc. Also we would like to wish all of you at pasty.com a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and to thank you for giving us our daily dose of what and where life is meant to be.

Hope the new year brings all of our men and women home from the war zones. May God be with them and peace be with all.

Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Merry Christmas from Houghton. Way to cold up here to leave the beer chilling on the back porch--found out the hard way!!

Merry Christmas to all. This is the best site on the www and I am so thankful that it continues on. I would also like to thank our service men and women for their sarifice at this time of year, and for always. Let's hope for a Happy New Year, and to borrow from Dickens: "God bless us everyone"

It's been plenty cold enough here in St Louis (Mo - not Mi) this last week but not a trace of snow! What a bleak, dreary, dreadful season - I envy your good fortune to live in the Copper Country.

On a sadder note: My Christmas mail brought word that Pastor Hilbert Zwyhuizen, who lived in Houghton approx 1950 - 1975 and pastored the University Baptist Church (now called Evangel Baptist, on College Ave) passed on last spring.

Merry x-mas all!!!

We have a white Christmas in Houston...Just a heavy dusting on the grass, roofs and cars, but is is snow!

Merry Christmas to all.

Victor P - Pearland, TX (Houston)

Merry Christmas from the "quiet" harbor. Not too many sleds zooming around yet...It's great to be able to step outside and hear nothing.Love the winter months!

Alicia, Mi.

We are from Marquette and Negaunee...Have lived in Memphis area going on three years- The last name does pop up now and then down South...but when we were in either the U.P or L.P it was pretty common.. The last name was Numikoski before my Father changed it many years back..

Happy Holidays..

This morning around 10:00ish (while I was out walking my dog in -10° weather), Steve from WI and Darrell Oinas both spotted a neat Christmas morning picture of the Lift Bridge. Thanks Darrell for sending it for posting!

May your days be merry and bright...and may all your Christmases (?!?!?!) be white!

nolliag shona dhuit to you sue as well

Thank you Darrell for sending it in and Mary for posting it, I am limited to what I can do on my computer at work so I could not get the file small enough to post. A special Merry Christmas to all the great folks that bring us this site and allow us to see such wonders.

Merry Christmas one and all!

John,mi your mention of your front rooom brought back many memories of Christmas's past spent in our "front room" This must be another C.C.term.

Merry Christmas to all of you out there!! It is a pleasure to be e-friends with so many of you. Thanks to all of you who make Pasty Cam avaiable to all of us!!

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!

Merry Christmas to all from Washington, the Evergreen
State!
Could that possibly be Santa's sleigh flying across the
bridge- so fast it's a blur- in the photo?

Merry Christmas everyone. Cool pic of the bridge that Darrell posted. Last night was magically beautiful, with the almost full moon out and clear starry skies. I took an evening walk in the -11 temp, almost as bright as daylight. Beautiful! Tonight is also bright, but some thin clouds out. John/Houghtons beer freezes on his back porch - our dogs water stays liquid for only a very short while inside the back porch! Know whatcha mean. Lovin' the UP winter! Happy New Year to all.

Hi Audrey -
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year -Greetings to
Fiona -
So much fun so write to you - enjoy all your snow

love,

Mom - Mommie misses you ;*)

Hauskka Joulua ja onnellista uutta vuotta from Cornell. (Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!) Had -13° this am, 'bout 6° now. Just a light dusting of new snow. Everybody getting ready for Heikken päivä next month in Hancock? Kilpela and Friends will be playing on Sat. evening.

Oh Dave, you are a real piece of work. One minute you have me shoveling snow and the next you are sending me the Christmas Train with all my friends on it. (But you missed the road runner, my favorite.) And also, the presents are missing. Obviously, you did not put enough cars on that train. I like lots. :) A Special Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, and all the others who at times keep me in stitches. Your pictures are awesome. Thanks to those who are running this site for all to enjoy. ELVIRA

Merry Christmas a few hours late from foggy Northern California. After a few nights of heavy frost (almost snow, but not enough to shovel!), we're in for rain.

We enjoyed our pasties on Christmas eve (thanks to the hardworking elves at Still Waters) and each other all day on Christmas. Santa brought too many new computer toys for the guys for me to have any computer time myself, but I sure appreciate reading all you had to say this a.m. (hugs to you, Phyllis and Dave).

Charlie and company, your work on pasty.com lets me live away from home but still be there -- like a kite, I can fly free as long as my heart is tethered safely by loving hands. Thank you all for all your hard work and God bless you and those loving hands in the year to come!

The pine tree is another 1 of my favorite trees, along with the maple + oak. Beautiful photos.
