Happy Christmas

Ormond, thanks for your kind wishes, and the same back to you.

It seems odd to think of Christmas in summer weather, but that's what you have, right? Does Santa wear a summer version of his usual red suit?

Here in the USA, Christmas is very much a winter holiday, and many of us hope for a "white Christmas". Alas, that didn't happen in Ohio this year, but we had significant snowfall yesterday, the day after Christmas. My driveway received about 3", but more than 8" fell about twenty miles to the north.

Happy New Year!
 
Best wishes for the New Year to all my friends at Framers Corner.
We too have Xmas and New Year in the summertime. When we first arrived in New Zealand in October '85 I thought this was topsy turvy, but over the years I have come to accept this situation. We can go high up in the mountains to see, feel and taste the snow during summer, but even in wintertime where we live it hardly ever snows.

We had BBQ outside at Christmas in the warm weather outside. Some rain and thunder came later to cool things down.
Father Christmas comes in all shapes. In his red shorts on a surfboard for example.
 
And my best wishes to all at Framer's Corner as well.

You're right, Jim, Christmas in Australia can be in extremes of hot weather, but nevertheless in our household we still stick to a traditional hot Christmas lunch, no matter what the weather. This year we had roast Turkey and Chicken, with all the trimmings of roast vegetables, followed by traditional (Australian) Christmas desserts of Plum Pudding and/or pavlova. The weather was kind to us this year, with a mild top of 22C (71.5F); we have had Christmas days when the temperature has hit in excess of 40C (104F), but even in those extremes it is still a hot roast luncheon. I did read in one of our papers over the last few days, that seafood was the biggest pre-Christmas meal purchase in Melbourne, indicating a shift in the Christmas lunch from the traditional roast to a more seafood based affair.

And of course, we should all remember that in Australia, Santa doesn't use his reindeers, opting instead for 6 white boomers (kangaroos)
