Christmas brings cheer and sadness.
And some will miss it entirely. Those who board flights in the western hemisphere,mainly America, on Christmas eve and fly west to Asia including Australia. They will arrive on boxing day. They have of course crossed the international dateline.
For those who spend time with their families or friends. It is, for some, the only time they meet for quite a time. And the kids. Unwrapping gifts, the excitement, pretty paper going every where and the talk, yelling even screaming. Adults watching with much pleasure. The Christmas lunch. Much good food and special dishes. Over eating and perhaps just a little too much wine. Later regretting it.
And now for the families who have lost loved ones throughout the year. There are several I know of on this forum. Their first Christmas without a family member or even a close friend. It will be sad. I feel for you.
Also for those of you who have had health set backs I do hope you have a family Christmas reunion. For those of you who have lost a family member some time back. I do hope you too have a family reunion.
For those of you who are alone for any reason. I do hope you find comfort with someone for Christmas.
This household brings in such people so they don’t feel unwanted.
I wish you all well.

Bill, thanks for thinking of your friends down under, but Christmas in the summer isn't so bad. It does come with benefits. Lazy days at the beach with a cold ale is easy to get used to.
On a serious note I wish one and all a safe and happy Christmas and take some time to think how blessed we are to enjoy the life we have.

Hi from right down under,ie 40 degrees south 147 east Tasmania. Had bush fires and 33c heat, so the smell of burnt trees is around.
Beautiful midnight mass last night, a prayer and thoughts for all the lost and lonely, those doing it hard, and for our friends over seas wether working or in the forces.
Tis a time for happiness, joy and family get to getherness. To all our friends on the "Barn" Merry Christmas!
