Merry Christmas all!!!!!!! Its 1.30pm Christmas afternoon and we are just back from the regiments big family breakfast, lots of fun, lots kids and a Santa!! My Mum even had champers and orange juice  The boys of course had whiskey and beer chasers but not too many. Lovely sunny day about 38c nice breeze. well back to the cooking (notice how women prepare,cook and serve and men enjoy the day and don't?  oh forgot .... its tradition  ) So nice to have a Christmas when all the family is home for once!! God bless all.
Life may feel as if you are constantly getting kicked on a daily basis, living is about picking yourself up each day and going on and on and on regardless.

Men must be honest with themselves before they can be honest with others. A man who is not honest with himself presents a hopeless case

It's Christmas morning here on the East coast of the US, and to all of you, may the peace and joy that is the basis of this holiday be yours for the entire year.
Merry Christmas to all!

Santa actually goes to England FIRST! >:( We are having a wonderful family time, with all of us together. It's hard to fit so much love into one place.

Because I'm up and am finding that Turkey a bit hard to digest, or was it the Ham? Anyways tummy is rumbling away, so I researched it, tha Santa travel route!! And I found a NORAD site that states:- "Santa usually starts at the International Date Line in the Pacific Ocean and travels west. So, historically, Santa visits the South Pacific first, then New Zealand and Australia. After that, he shoots up to Japan, over to Asia, across to Africa, then onto Western Europe, Canada, the United States, Mexico and Central and South America. But keep in mind, Santa�s route can be affected by weather, so it�s really unpredictable. NORAD coordinates with Santa�s Elf launch staff to confirm his launch time, but from that point on, Santa calls the shots. We just track him!" So there you are, official confirmation from a US Gov agency.  But hope you're all having a fun and happy Christmas

NORAD tracks Santa has been a Christmas eve tradition since DD14 and DD12 were little.
Also, they request a playing of "Mr. Hankey." Not recommended for the conservative or easily offended.
We also played "I Am Santa Clause," which spooked DD5.

They're not as enthused about clustering around the computer to check his progress, now that they're older, sigh. Last night I had to call upstairs to let them know where he was: "Hey, you guys! Santa's just leaving Jamaica!" "Um...okay, Mom - we're playing Call of Duty...we'll be down in a minute!"  But we all enjoyed our newest tradition: the Christmas Eve viewing of Polar Express, a movie I think is easily the best new Christmas movie to come out in the last few years.
