How's everyone else's preparations going???
I haven't done cards I haven't baked a cake but we have a tree up and most the gifts bought and wrapped.
All of the family will be here in the wee hours for Santa, then to church Most here for lunch and hopefully all for tea.

Thanks, Smilie. I thought the snowflakes might help to keep us cool down here in the antipodes!
Us + Xmas =- Just finished making my own cards - must print them and labels to post on Monday!
- No tree yet, not sure if we'll bother.
- Coloured lights around verandah permanently anyway, but added lit up Santa shape out there.
- Not doing the 'whole Xmas meal' thing, but have bought turkey breast and ham (Mum's choice) and will do lotsa lovely veggies, and prolly a bought Xmas pud. Will be just us three.
- Mum's bin threatening to make mince pies and shortbread, but, who knows when?!
- Not doing pressies as much has been spent on improvements to 'new' house and garden.
- I don't 'do' religion, so no church, but will think of folks around the world and prolly phone a few rellies/good friends.
- Happy to volunteer for local charity/ies if they need an extra pair of hands over Christmas period (e.g. pet rescue, oldies, hospital, etc.)
Overall, a fairly quiet time for us usually; same for New Year's Eve.
To all of our members and guests, wishing you an enjoyable and peaceful Christmas, and a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Well it's 3am here in NZ and Santa has winged his way, aided and abetted by a strong tail wind, to Australia. My son's Christmas stocking is now full and I am back to bed.
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone. Enjoy family, friends, food, fun and frivolity.
