Not Christian, but still enjoy me some Christmas! We have a few more hours here on this side of the planet 'til Christmas, but glad you antipodeans are enjoying your day at the beach--wish I was there.
After what has been one of the worst starts to summer in living history, today, Christmas Day, has dawned as a beautiful fine, sunny day. The first perfect summer day so far. Just about to head out for a typical Australian Christmas lunch - a massive spread of seafood (oysters, prawns, crab, fish, calamari, Balmain bugs) plus the more traditional ham and chicken, plus loads of fresh salads. Hopefully, the weather will also treat you kindly so that you, also, can fully enjoy your Christmas.
About 30 degrees C cooler here, but had a very nice roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, topped off with pumpkin pie for Xmas eve. Mix of secular Cs and Js here, with a few stoutly infidel types as well. Was in Sydney 18 months ago - beautiful place even in (your) winter! Although the beach was a bit nicer near Noosa than in NSW in that season. Best to all of you!
It will be 72 here in Los Angeles tomorrow, Geeze I love this city! Merry Christmas to all and have a great New Year!
Same here. Not religious. We're too far fom the coast but we are enjoying a nice barbie by the farm dam. The wild ducks are looking suspicious and the kids are plundering the xmas stockings.
Jewish atheist here, so I don't do Christmas, but I hope everyone has a happy Christmas, whether you celebrate the day or not, and that the new year brings peace, prosperity, and other good things. The weather here in Spokane is cloudy and about 7 Celsius below zero, and forecast to get to about 1 C above. We had about an inch of very light, fluffy snow yesterday morning.
We did a nice chanukah party in Ventura county last night for one side of the family. Today we do Christmas. Wish us luck . . . It's gona be 76 degree's here in the great south O.C. - and we're running low on sun block! The rest of you folks, we'll be thinking warm thoughts for you. I enjoy me some humor, too. .
I'm down here in Chatsworth and it's beautiful. Temps in the 70s and sunny! I am having the best Christmas. I got good news from the oncologist and the surgeon and I got an iPad for Christmas. The girlfriend is trying to turn me into an Apple fan. Guess my next phone will be an i5. Merry Christmas, my friends!
