To my friends, family and readers, Christians, Jewish, Pagans and Zoroastrians.

Have I left anyone out? 🤣

Thank you for taking the time to read my rambles and rants on this blog, sharing your feedback and comments through the year. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas or a wonderful festival of lights, Happy Hanukkah. Burn that Yuletide log (although not during our scorching Australian summer while there’s fire bans).

May this time of the year give you some rest and relaxation with your loved ones, taking time to enjoy the lazy summer (or winter) days to see through a wonderful new year.

What are your plans for this time of year?

Me? Spending time with family, some of whom we haven’t seen in years. Lots of rest, eating, drinking, reading and napping.

I’m half way through War and Peace. I’m hoping to get through much more of it.

Happy Christmas!
