Everything to do with XMAS!

It's boxing day here.
A day to recover from excessive food and drink.
In Australia it's the famous boxing day test cricket.
As we are in Vanuatu it's lucky we can watch on tv and both listen to it on the radio.
It's a huge tradition.
The crowd dress up in silly supporter gear and it's a great family day atmosphere.
Lots of coloured zinc on faces,bright national colour frizzy wigs and hollowed out watermelon helmets.
Banners declaring Christmas wishes to overseas family hoping for the crowd shot on the telly.
Crowd chanting ,Mexican waves it's all here.
Put the barbie on and pour a few cool ones.
Ahrr... Christmas is over...............

Merry Christmas everyone. We had a nice visit with one daughter and some of her family, including 2 of my great granddaughters. Now for the Packers football game!

It was great. I've posted on the food and weather forums. I'm downloading the first free gift from apple. A nice album from a group I haven't followed until this December.

It's getting a little noisier as time ticks by. Just heard the first aircraft go over on it's approach to Heathrow.

Morning all.

And to you Hayley. I've just got back from the sales, and will have to return some items.

The bits were rejected here at home . Oh well, onwards and upwards....... I will liven up the humour thread.

I have seen loads of Xmas displays already. I'm getting a real Xmas tree this year no matter what it costs. I've asked for an Apple TV, an external hard drive (at least 1TB) and an iPad cover(hopefully the smart one). Anyone else got a Xmas list? We give ourselves Xmas stockings, the works etc...

Never too old for prezzies from Santa.

I go to the christingle service and the crib service and the sometimes the midnight service. Church of England me!

As Hayles said, it's probably time to start posting on the Xmas thread.

Our shopping centre, The Glades, has the decorations up and Santa's grotto goog to go.

There isn't a huge Xmas tree this year.

I need to download some pics for this thread.

Christmas? Time to go shopping for an iPad mini. No, it's not for me.

I actually bought 1 on Friday, took it back on Monday. We were going to give one to our daughter for finishing her Masters degree but thought of something better (yes it is possible)

Will now be buying 1 for each of our daughters for Christmas. Could have kept that one but thought they may want to go bigger or different colour etc so thought it best to buy closer to Christmas.

Your son is going to be stoked!

Talking about stuff for sale well in advance and out of sequence.

Our local large supermarket has hot cross buns for sale! I was going to complain ....... .......... because they don't have the wholemeal ones on display!

Lol.....I'll have to check ours to see if they are there already.

They started straight after Christmas last year and went well past Easter.

Just love them too, doesn't worry me at all.......
