@wccmog10 , am I right?
Merry Christmas LynI'm a little late for those in the UK and similar time zones, but Nadolig Llawen (Merry Christmas) everyone
It's been a hectic day for me cooking wise - the only lunch I cook a year - but it went down well and so far has stayed down!!
So my nephew and I survived it, yaaaaaayy!!!
I have just driven him home so I am having a few glasses of wine and finally managing 5 minutes to pop into the CDR to say that I hope you all had, or are having, a lovely day and that Santa was good to you.
Time for some catching up reading now, so not see you soon, TTFN

Good mornooning everyone and happy Boxing Day. The kids are in bed and JoesDad and I are having a leisurely breakfast in the conservator and watching the birds on our garden feeders.
Weather Update.....nice today and tomorrow... and more rain Friday!
Merry Christmas for all !
Can someone please explain me what Happy Boxing day is ?
In Germany we celebrate Christmas on the 24. of December with a goose to eat or something else of yummy food, gifts, going to church and singing Christmas songs. All on one day !

Here in the UK (and places we colonised [emoji849]) Christmas Day is the big day. Traditionally Christmas Eve is a working day leading up to midnight mass when the start of the day Jesus was born is celebrated.
Boxing Day is a public holiday here in the UK. Traditionally it was when the day when “Christmas boxes” (gifts) were given to those who had given good service during the year... domestic staff, trades, etc. It is also when the servants of the wealthy were given a day off to return to their families to celebrate Christmas and would be given a Christmas Box of food and perhaps money to take with them.
Here's a thread for you, Noel: https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/happy-birthday-noel.172128/
Well, it's only 6:52a and I'm already finished with my Forum duties. It's still a bit on the dark side outside, but maybe by the time I've washed and prepared the tortoises' food it will have gotten a bit lighter. So, I'm off to fight the wars. Have a good day, all of you!!!!
Thank you [emoji4][emoji847][emoji173]️
Hi there! That heat you promised us, didn't get here yet.
We are patiently waiting: it's freezing cold here and there will be a further drop in temperature tonight.
We've got beautiful sunshine!! It's not real warm, but at least it's not foggy (our norm).Hi there! That heat you promised us, didn't get here yet.
Hi, Yvonne. Lucky you. Here, it's v cold. Oli and I get stuck at home in such cases. Had it been sunny, I would have taken him for a "walk."
Send us some heat, please.
You don't cope well with cold do you?Hi there! That heat you promised us, didn't get here yet.
It's warmer where you are than it is here. We have a saying that there's no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing I always have my fleece lined, knitted hat on when I am outside at the moment. If my head stays warm there's a better chance that the rest of me will too.
Good evening Linda, hope you're well.You don't cope well with cold do you?
Oh yep: I simply hate, hate, hate Winter.
You may/may not believe: when temperature reaches 40 degrees C (and sometimes more during heat waves), I'm fine so long as the lovely sun is not striking in my head. However, during Winter, I am at home 90% of the time, I've the heating system on, I've an electric heater and all the rest, but I just cannot make it. I do not think it's as warm here as you people in Europe think it is.
We have snow here during Winter.
Good evening Linda, hope you're well.

I googled the weather forecast for your location as I have done often over the years
It is warmer with you than us just now. It has been pretty cold there on occasion, I will give you that. I have a friend, another mod on my other forum, living in Jeddah who comes back to the UK every January for our trade show. He may be an expat Brit but he doesn’t cope well at all with our climate now.
