Most people might be cursing a lack of sunshine at this time of year, but for one lot of party-goers it was a winter wonderland as snow fell in Weston-on- the-Green.
More than 60 people gathered for a charity party in aid of Oxford's Helen and Douglas House hospices on Saturday.
The date was as far from Christmas Eve as possible - inspiring the party organisers to go with a festive theme.
Snow fell, presents were raffled and Father Christmas even made an appearance.
Haneah Miller, five, is pictured enjoying the snow'.
It was the beginning of an ongoing commitment to the charity by HCA, a business solutions company based in Weston-on-the-Green.
HCA managing director Jane Heath said: "It was a fantastic event and the weather held out for us, even though it snowed.
"We were really pleased with it and raised more than £1,300."
