Season's Greetings

Hi All,
We are enjoying a humid festive season. As I write the cicadas are outside thrumming up a storm. My daughter and her husband have gone to get prawns and oysters and other crustecans for Xmas Day. The grandkids are in their pool swimming and we plan to go to a Barrier Reef Island for some serious snorkelling for a week on Boxing Day. It's all so different from what most of this site is going to experience this season!!
My son-in-law is Irish, and says it never feels like Xmas to him. Hopefully, one day I will experience a Xmas in the Northern Hemisphere, but until then, Good Wishes for the Festive Season to all, and may we all have a great New Year. It's great to be alive!!
