Merry Christmas from a 29 C Sydney, Australia
Good morning and Merry Christmas! 
from NYC!
Last night I went to a Christmas party. I had a few beers, followed by a few more beers, followed by several shots of Tequila. That’s when I decided to do what I have never done before: I took a bus home. Sure enough, there was a DUI checkpoint on the way home, and since it was a bus, they waived it past. I arrived home safely without incident. This was both a great relief and a surprise because I had never driven a bus before. I don’t even know where I got it from, and now that it’s in front of my house, I don’t know what to do.
Merry Christmas and a Safe New Year

My last Christmas was Day 12 in foreign solitary confinement during a 15 day quarantine. The hotel room was 12’x10’ with a small hallway, no alchohol, we were only allowed out twice a day for 45 minute walks in a big circle & the honeymoon with the company providing the meals was over 10 days previous. My family & Godchildren whom I’m spending Christmas vacation with this year have no clue how special Christmas is this year for me. I guess cherishing Holidays for people who miss so many due to work isn’t exclusive to me? I hope the mariners working Christmas this year get the next one off. I know most will appreciate it more than those who get every year. Always enjoy them when you can.

It is the time of the year when Norwegians that is fed up with shoveling snow go to the mountains to look for peace and quite, combined with SUN & SNOW:
Of course they have to dig out their cabin before they can enjoy the skiing:
Personally I prefer to stay on bare ground and look at snowy mountains from a distance:
Preferably from home:
