Christmas

[burglar]

21 Dec 2012 is the date I've heard, so it will be a frenzy of bucket-listing over the next two weeks.

I hope it's in the afternoon.

I've got the plumber coming in the morning!!

and our Prime-Ministerial Julia has promised she'll keep working for us till the bitter end.
I'll bet there are a few people here hoping she's got the timing right and indeed quit working on the 21st.

... and then: WHAT?

Darn it!

I'd forgotten about the Mayans!

I wish someone had reminded me sooner!

I've already finished my Chrissy shopping for this year. Looks like I've wasted money that could have been better utilised in an armageddon eve binge!

I stayed up all night to watch it end!

What a disappointment -the darned planet's still here!

(Then again, it wouldn't quite be the end of the 21st yet where the Mayan's were located, so with a bit of luck we might still see it! We should know within the next few hours.)

That's too bad about Jack, he put in some good innings though...good on ya mate

Got the Chrissy music on!

Turkey is in the oven, we got a small one this year 6.8kg. My first Christmas in China without my team, but my first with my new bride.:remybussi For four years when i was with them i cooked them Christmas dinner. We had a long table, from work trestles, and it fed 26 comfortably. Good times.

This year I've got turnips and carrots cooking, plus potatoes which i will divide into thirds and dose one with a generous helping of summer savory then bake.:emp:

Then its onto the gravy before we take the bird and trimmings to our neighbors from Michigan down the street. She's doing the Coleslaw.

Uncork a red and a white and woo hoo, get stuck into it!:drink:

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Righto, that's another year's Christmas spread of BBQ prawns, leg of ham, roast turkey, plum puddings and all the trimmings shopped for, prepared, cooked, eaten and leftovers dealt with. I'm not going to look at food for a week and the family can damn well feed themselves from whatever they can find in the fridge It was a lovely day of family, food and fun and I'm counting my blessings.

Hope everyone had a lovely day!
