@A&L_OntMerry Christmas to you, Lisa, and Owen, Andrew.  Enjoy your day with your family.

I felt badly for the people who spent the night in Walmart;. my daughter said that they will have quite the memories of how they spent their 2022 Christmas Eve.🎄

Christmas Day in Sydney.

 

The men of the family arrive at lunch inadvertently wearing the same Country Road shirt.

 

Long leisurely lunch on the outside deck.  We enjoyed amongst other things; an extensive cheese board, prawns, oysters, freshly baked homemade bread, a variety of salads, ham off the bone followed by a superb trifle and Christmas pudding.

 

The weather was glorious, a nice sunny day with a pleasant sea breeze.

 

After our leisurely lunch, we headed to the beach for a

 swim in the late afternoon. The water temp was just lovely.

 

 

 

 

 

Great way to celebrate.  Pictures are great 

Merry Christmas Aussie and family. 🎄

Just got a text from PECO our power company asking for all homeowners to conserve energy, if health permits, until 10 am tomorrow.   Sounds like power grid is under stress due to frigid temps.   I have timers set for all our outdoor lights/displays to go off just after midnight.   Have to make sure Santa finds us.  Hopefully no power losses.  

We got the same message from our power company here in Virginia.

  Jack didn't want to get up .he was in bed all day yesterday, but he got up at Ryan's request, opened his gifts and is back in bed.  Jim's definitely got a bad cold..the other 3 of us are much better.  Thank you for asking!

 

We also are to conserve energy.  Darn this frigid weather is getting old!

Have a great day with your family,. Deb!

 

Stay warm, everyone!

Sorry to hear Jack is feeling so poorly, but glad to see the rest of you are getting better.  Our grandkids were just getting over colds when they came last week, daughter got it while here now Jim are I are both starting.  Hopefully will be over quick.  Will take it though to have spent the time with them.

 

It was in the 20s here this morning, better than teens yesterday, at least the sun is out.

 

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate, may your holidays be full of love, laughter and most of all warm days. 🌲

 

For all who celebrate Hanukkah,  enjoy your last evening 🕎

Merry Christmas to our friends in the north, who are looking at snow this morning.  
 

My view this morning.

I'm really happy to notice that this year's Happy Holidays, many posters felt at ease to post pictures of their meals, their kids and grandkids, and, of course -- even of themselves.

 

So nice to put a face to someone/s with whom we've been virtually in touch for almost 3 years now 🎄

It appears that Snowflake the Elf has left until next year. 
 

 

Oh, and it appears I have been given a new name by Marriott.  
 

 

I told everyone to call me Ricardo this week. 😁

[Jimbo]

My Wife bought me a first ever for me Drone.

Very small,cost about $50, looks like a little kids toy.

Anyone familiar with this model.

Looked on amazon,first thing somebody said is don't fly it on very windy days or it will fly away and never to be seen again 🤣

 

Any pointers I should know?

 

Figured maybe flying it around the golf course or up toward the mountain behind our house...........Just how far can these things travel from you? Got a feeling I'm going to be doing some mountain climbing to find this thing crashed somewhere. How hard or easy it it controlling these things?

I assume that Santa found his path to every house on his list.

My cousins living in Barnegat finally got tired of the winter weather and bought a house in Arizona.

We made it through Christmas Eve at my son’s in New Jersey and now we are at our house continuing the Holiday.

A little sad but the kids were happy with their gifts.

[Lionesss]

We left our house in Vienna Ohio at 6  am. Roads around Kent Ohio were icy. Slow traffic 40-50 mph. 
Had to call 911. Car ahead of us weaving into both lanes. One min going 60. The next 25. 
Got connected to highway patrol. Gave them information as he exited. He had to be drunk. 
Glad we called. 
 

Now let me tell you about road conditions 20 miles north of Columbus thru to Dayton. 
One almost continuous ice skating rink. Cars and trucks off the road In ditches. 5 trucks in ditches on their side. 
 

What normally would have been a 4 hour 15 min drive took 6 hours. 
Their were plows out dropping whatever they use. But when it’s 12 degrees I’ve not going anywhere. 
 

I actually had my flashers on for over an hour. 
 

Glad we made it. 
Baby Zoey doing great. 
Dinner at 6:30. 
 

Take care.

I look at it as a test drone to see if this is something I really want to pursue farther or not. Looks like this one doesn't really  have a long range it can travel but could be interesting to learn how these things work.

 

After getting this 85" inch Tv(Samsung QN85QN90A) now installed on the wall and searching 4K material on you tube. It's amazing how many people use these drones and make 4k Material for you tube. There are amazing video of all over the world that make you feel like you are really there.
