Default Christmas & New Year

A bit early for the good wishes, I know. But since I will be out on a vacation with some sand under the tires but no connection to the Internet, I thought that it is acceptable to send them to you already now.

I wish you some peaceful days and a very happy new year.

Kuno

Kuno, how thoughtful of you to have sent a totally non Politically Correct greeting.

Having spent some time in a desert Kingdom some many miles to the east of you, I can appreciate your sentiments at this time of year.

Dear Jon; what do I have to understand under "a totally non Politically Correct greeting"?

[I also have to admit that I do used to think in politically correct terms and feel quite well with it].

Kuno:

My response was perhaps a bit of an over reaction to what we here in Canada are subjected to with regard to holiday greetings.

For that, I apologize for any misconception.

Regards. and Merry Christmas!

Hi Rick

Wishing you and all our MLU friends a very Merry Christmas and a Safe and prosperous New Year. And spare a thought for troops away from their families at this special time of the year. May they all return home safely soon.

Have a great time with your family and friends.

Cheers

Tony

Default Merry Christmas from Ottawa

The year started out with all the promise and hope of any. Good news some days and bad news on others. We do what we must and what we can. I hope all my Maple Leaf Up friends are able to enjoy the festivities.

And include a word in your grace for troops overseas and all those who go into harm's way on our behalf.

Terry

Three tours / three wars / three missed Christmases

Default Merry Christmas from Vancouver

Seasons Greetings to all and Amen to your request Terry. And a special Merry Christmas to Rob Love, who, according to tonight's Christmas forecast, is freezing his "toosh" off in the "Armpit of Canada"!

And we have it under strictest confidence that Santa will be delivering a Lump Of Coal to one....Bruce Harris for his somewhat "tasteless" emails. Merry Christmas Bruce. Robert

Only going to -28 tonight, although if you get caught in the wind it's equal to -39. Kind of typical for this part of Canada actually. We get through it, knowing that in another 2 months it will start to get warmer.

Merry Christmas to all.

Rob

Hello Rob,

Merry Christmas to you and your family; and to all MLU people and family. Plus a prosperous 2013

The weather here in Bundaberg - on the coast of Queensland, Australia is

4:00 PM 25/12/12
Temp °C 29.2
Relative Humidity 48 %
The best thing is the breezes - Wind Direction - NNE Speed Kilometres
12 with gusts to Speed Kilometres 22

For a December we have had very little rain for this time of year, since it is the Subtropics of Australia. However, this time two years ago we had fatal floods just starting - so dry is good.


Kind Regards
Lionel
