Brian and Diane, both youtubes were such fun.  I used to watch the Two Ronnie's here in the USA, good to see at least one Ronnie here.

An annual tradition in our household is to watch the various versions of A Christmas Carol to reaffirm our opinions on which we like the best, for me, it is always Black Adder's Christmas Carol  (it gets bonus point with Robbie Coltraine as the Christmas spirit)

Part 1

Part 4


Part 5


Now to decide if I want to be good or bad ;D   Merry Christmas everyone!

A very Merry Christmas to Forumists one and all.

Most of the shops are closed now and so as far as I'm concerned it's now Christmas, a very Happy Christmas to all my Forum friends.

Disturbing that you only need to refer to us by first name isn't it!  ::)  The ones that are most often here.  ;D

Currently 10:15am on Christmas morning here in Canberra, Australia.  Just heading off to join the family get-together down in the south of the city.  All the best for Christmas everyone.  Bright and sunny here with 29'C forecast today.  A glorious morning!!  8)
Cheers.

Min winter temp -8 or -9°C. Max summer temp 40°C. Thankfully, maybe once or twice a year only.

mid christmas eve here (6:56 pm) i often prefer to cook on the eve, and relax on the day (in city dwelling days, it was often a movie day), but since we had to go to work to pick up paycheques (20 miles one way) then for a bit of shopping (60miles the other, then 40 miles back home) i think i will reverse that order, and be lazy tonight  ;D

hope the weekend is good to you all, whether festive or restful!

, can I knock on your door and join you at the dining table? Happy Christmas.   

Otto - We'd be mightily pleased if you knocked on our door at anytime of the year, we'd even cook you a Christmas dinner.  If we make you a wreath for the occasion there could be a shortage of berries!

We just might have a major nor'easter on Monday with snow. Perhaps the Greenland high is at last fading and Europe will finally warm up.  It's certainly our turn at winter.
