oops, this didn't post this morning, it's been raining and it's up to 39F now.

It's still dark out, been up for a while, not sleeping well.

Good morning;
We have had light snow on Saturday night and on and off snow on Sunday. It is enough that we will have to clear off the cars and push a little snow from the driveway.
Today is the last day of my vacation. I accomplished a lot last week at home.
Irene-Enjoy your new treadmill.
Ed-Did you enjoy your advent treats last night?
Have a great day! 0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have 11 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 14 and 24% chance of precipitation.
Joanne, those button trees are cute! I like the ugly sweater too. I've been enjoying my Advent calendars every day. It's fun taking a virtual tour of Europe (at least so far) with the wines.
Clearly the people in charge of this year's Aldi wine calendar had fun putting the whole package together, with a web page for each day that includes a brief video, along with a few paragraphs about the wine and the area the grapes are grown. This is the first year I recall all that extra work being put into it and it makes it so much more fun.
Day 12 of the Advent wine calendar presents Hibernate With Me vino rosso from Italy. The cheese Advent calendar presents vintage Cheddar. The chocolate for the day is a mousse au chocalat truffle.

SCAM OF THE WEEK:
Homoglyph and Unicode Phishing Scams
You may be wondering what homoglyphs and Unicodes are.
Homoglyphs are letters or characters that look similar. For example, the character “e” looks similar to the character “ė”. Unicode is a unique code assigned to characters so that any platform or program can understand them. For example, the Unicode for “e” is U+0065, and the Unicode for “ė” is U+0117. Now, cybercriminals are taking advantage of homoglyphs and Unicodes in phishing emails to imitate legitimate organizations.
In a recent scam, cybercriminals send you an email that uses homoglyphs and Unicode to offer you a fake promotion. The email includes a link to log in to receive your promotion. For example, to make the email look more legitimate, cybercriminals could send the email using “N□ėt□fli□ⅹ.com” as the sender. The □ symbol indicates a Unicode character that is not supported in your internet browser, but your browser will automatically omit these unsupported characters when displaying text. In this example, the sender's email address would display as "http://Netflix dot com/". If you don’t notice the spoofed domain and enter your login credentials, cybercriminals can access your account and steal your sensitive information.
Follow the tips below to stay safe from homoglyph and Unicode scams:
• Even if the sender’s email address appears to be from a trusted domain, the email could be fake. This technique can be used to impersonate any organization, brand, or even a person.
• When you receive an email, stop and look for red flags. For example, watch out for text with odd spacing or characters that look strange.
• Never click a link in an email that you aren’t expecting. If the email claims that you need to log in to your account, log in to the organization’s website directly to verify any offers or promotions.

good morning
Ed, thanks for the continuing tips, comics, and pictures of your advent goodies.
Irene, hope you are enjoying your new treadmill.
Jo, those button trees are really cute, and you did a great job with the sweater. I like plaids for the holidays. Glad you had a good week off!

The Geminid meteor shower will be strong tomorrow night, but I don't think I'll be up after midnight.
I started wrapping holiday gifts yesterday, but didn't get very far. Kept getting distracted. Maybe I can finish up today, and make a list of other gifts I want to shop for. We're planning to have our family party next Sunday.
Wishing all a happy new week. 🕊️🌠🎁🦄🎅🍭🕎🎄
