Rather high on the approach but nevertheless.......

To everyone here, Merry Christmas and a Happy and Safe New Year - and as ever, thanks to the mods !

Will shortly head off to number one daughters for the Festivities,accompanied by Mrs 1DC and Oz Daughter. A full gathering of the living clan.
In the meantime Happy Christmas to you All and may we All have a very Happy and Enjoyable New Year.

22:12 here in SEQ xmas eve, and wishing all the very best to all the Ops Normal crew I hold so dear...thank you.....all the very best to each and everyone of you!!

5:35am on Christmas morning - wishing a peaceful and happy Christmas to all.

It's unfair that those based in the Eastern Hemisphere get to experience events in advance of those in the developed World.
I mean who invented Time? Certainly not the Colonials . . .

(Just joking, but I really am envious that 'we' miss out on these celebrations.)

Nevertheless, Happy Christmas - enjoy 'our' celebrations - we will have to wait until tomorrow (as always!).

Me bitter? You bet I am!

Is that why it is called Greenwich MEAN Time?

Happy Xmas to all readers. Morning service in the kirk went well as did the rehearsal at 1:30pm for the 11:30pm Watchnight service. Tomorrow there's just an "informal" service at 10am before we (me, friend Barbara & 3 guests) sit down to Xmas Dinner at 2:30pm.
My sister in Perth WA is worried, she & hubby have gone the riverhouse in Yunderup where she is scheduled to cook & service half a salmon & dressings for umpteen folk.

Happy xmas et al.....shamelessly stolen from another thread:

Just to let everyone know. After much soul-searching I have decided not to send Christmas cards this year.

Including postage, I used to spend around $150 on cards each year and generally the cards just end up in the bin and subsequently in landfill. This is obviously a dreadful waste.

To counter this waste, I have decided to take the $150 to Safeway and swap it for Vodka and Diet Coke, and maybe some Screwball Eggnog, massively reducing my ability to give a ***** what anyone else thinks

I'm sure you'll support me in this utterly selfish act.🥳

Merry Christmas

And, remembrance of absent friends this Christmas.

A box of CRW (cheap red wine) will suffice for me.
I shall raise a glass or several to wish all a Merry Christmas.

Happies to all from me at the, very windy, eastern edge of the known world.
Tomorrow will be busy for me as I cook for all my immediate family who will be with us for the day.

Today seems to be wind from the west - say goodbye to Carrot Cruncher who will no doubt end up beyond the Viking Gas Fields or maybe even Dogger Bank.

Just off out, Gath'rin' Winter Fu-u-el!

Merry Christmas Everybody!

A Very Merry Christmas to all from the land down under, may Santa grant you all you wished for and that we all enjoy a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Have a fabulous day, everybody - and to those for whom Christmas is a bit of a trial, you are not forgotten x

Best wishes for Christmas & the new year to all, and may we all enjoy the time with friends and kin.
