I thought I might miss sending a greeting as we've had very bad gales here recently with no power or water until 5pm Saturday and my internet connection just back a few minutes ago.

It seems that a white Christmas in the north is a mixed blessing, so I thought this little image of a New Zealand Christmas tree, one of the Metrosideros species, may cheer the spirit at this busy time. I wish all Forumists a very merry Christmas and a wonderful New year with lots of flowers, good things to eat and most of all, good friends and family to share them with.

nice images and sentiments, all :)
 i've decided hoar frost is about my favourite part of winter :) (all the other parts involve being warm--big warm cozy clothes, hot beverages, warm blankets....)

good to see some cheering views from down south--i've always questioned the sanity of those who long for a white christmas--were i in hawaii or anywhere else warm and green, my only thoughts regarding snow would be to give thanks continually that there was none!

Seasons greetings to one (Maggie) and all!

1. The Xmas tree has been brought up from the cellar currently just above zero for a few days sojourn in the tropics (=living room). It is of course edible, a Monkey Puzzle, but it will be many years before I can offer monkey puzzle nuts for Xmas!

2. It will once again be a colourful Xmas dinner (with blue potatoes too), all from the Andes Mountains

Interesting, Stephen,  your veg collection reminds me of the marked outside Quito, Ecuador. There you could get all kinds of tubers. I got a taste when we were invited to dinner at a local Andean family.
Monkey Puzzle trees regularly set nuts here. Yours look more like a Cunninghamia!
