Happy Christmas to all my good friends. Today is for being with your loved ones, for over drinking and over eating and having a ripper of a time. And above all remembering the true meaning of Christmas to us Christians.🥂🎄🎅🎉

Who has a special tradition only for Christmas. I do as I always watch a version of Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol/ Scrooge. And I invariably get a touch watery eyed at the conclusion.

Do you guys/gal still listen to Chrissie carols like moir. I have two favorites, When a Child is Born and O Holy Night. Your favorites?

"Jessica and Thomas have not made a wish as yet. And Terry due to your selflessness I the Genie of the Lamp is giving you another wish. "

I did. I said it would be good health or at least the like of it. So please keep rubbing your lamp.:thumbsu:

Yes we all want good health Thomas and world peace with no more tyrants/dictators Jessica. How good would it be if it was only a matter of rubbing an ancient magic oil lamp for these wishes to become reality.
