Happy Christmas!
Rather high on the approach but nevertheless.......

Re: Happy Christmas!
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?

Re: Happy Christmas!
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.

Re: Happy Christmas!
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.![🍾](//cdn.jsdelivr.net/emojione/assets/3.1/png/64/1f37e.png)

Re: Happy 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.
