It's 8.07am on Christmas Day here in the beautiful (but very dry) north west of New South Wales, so the forecast rain will be the best Christmas present we could have! Himself and I are having a quiet morning then heading out to a restaurant for A Nice Christmas Lunch, instead of just sitting round grinning at each other. Our Canberra son and his fiancée will be visiting for a few days on Friday, and we hope - ice storms and power outages permitting - to have a skype chat to our Canada son and girl-in-law.

Happy Thingmas and Seasonal Whatevers to all, whatever you celebrate!
