Just a wish for all things good for everyone and a special thanks for all the thoughts and prayers during the upset of the loss of my oldest son this year. You are such a wonderful group. Can't thank you enough for your support. Marlys in Indiana
Yes, I'd like to say to everyone, have the merriest of Christmases, OR which ever holiday you celebrate, and a very Happy & Prosperous New Year in 2006. Emily
You are more than welcome. Many of think this is a good year to forget, but many good things came out of it too.
Peace and blessings to you all.
Couldn't agree more Kate - many of the bad things has reminded people that when they work together they can overcome adversity.

I started the day by watching the Midnight Mass from Gloucester Cathedral: lovely music, glorious mediaeval cathedral.
James was first up, and unwrapping his Christmas stocking prezzies at eight, and we spent the day having fun and lazing about! Lunch was game soup, dinner in the evening (after a nice walk) was roast lamb.
Someone once asked me what to do about Christmas down your way, and I suggested BBQ's turkey kebabs, loads of salad, and follow it with Christmas Pudding Ice-cream - traditional vanilla ice-cream base with added spices and all the fruit soaked in bandy or rum before being added to the mix! I had that once and it was gorgeous!
We are going to the cinema this afternoon to see Narnia and meet Little Sis and her two for tea at hers afterwards. Tomorrow we go up to Mum's for lunch.
You're a trendsetter. Icecream pudding has really taken off here. A hot pudding is the only traditional thing we do - you have to keep some standards in the colonies! We were going to barbecue the turkey but had to do it in the oven because of a total fire ban. We cooked it the day before and had it cold with prawns, ham and salads. Then the cheeses and the cake.
Glad to hear my daughter isn't the only one who doesn't wake up at the crack of dawn. Not even the thought of Santa keeps her from her sleep!
