Christmas DownUnder! Sun. Sand. Surf and lots of Sunscreen. We are taking our Christmas to the beach this year. The Grandchildren are older and we will set up a shade cabana where us older folk can chat about the year, remember those that left us too soon and watch as the next generation begins to take their place in the Circle of Life. The sky is suppose to be blue 🤞 and hopefully a slight breeze will keep the sting of the sun at bay. While you are starting to cook your Turkey, we will be enjoying seafood, cold ham, chicken, lots of different salads and freshly made fruit salad and later Pavlova, trifle and cheesecake. The most important thing though is that we are together and we can enjoy this beautiful time of year as we celebrate the greatest Gift of Love that God gave us when He sent His Son, Jesus Christ into the world. Have a wonderful and Blessed Christmas frens!!

🤤 Sounds amazing!! No turkey 😀. Christmas is usually hot so salads and cold meat and the salads But this year we are having turducken 😜. Most of our patrolled beaches have a park backing them. Hubby and Son are heading out now - 8:00 am - to stake out a spot. I won’t be swimming but Hubby is a 60s surfer so Christmas without a dip in the ocean will not happen! I would love to experience snow at Christmas but I think our travelling far days are over. We have visited Canada and Alaska though. Just stunning!!!! God Bless!!
I did spend the days between Christmas and shortly after New Years in Hawaii with my wife decades ago. But we love the winter here until the first couple weeks in February and then we get sick of it and head to the condo in Florida for a month. The end of February and March are rainy, cold, muddy and brown. And even if it does snow instead of rain its likely to be of the heavy, wet and slushy variety. Good time to hit the beaches.
Merry Christmas Matilda. Signing off its almost time for Church.
