The house with the white roof extensions. We can see the ocean from our rear decking.

We will be having a gtg, with some good friends, but I will have to give the drinks away this year, but waters good.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Brian & Carol.

We will be in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, where we live. We will get up Christmas morning (the 2 of us) and open our gifts. In the afternoon we will get together with Joe's family and have a turkey dinner and exchange more gifts.

In Baghdad, Iraq. I'll be at the "airport", such as it is, sending off one of the guys here on his way home. Rumor has it the aircraft will be pulled by eight tiny reindeer and piloted by a jolly guy in a red suit....

I will be on the beautiful 'Garden Island' of Kaua`i. My present home. I will miss having snow for the holidays and will miss my family but they are only a phone call away. I will force myself to go to the beach and think of snow. Kidding about the snow part and the forcing part. ;-}

Gee...I feel like I have answered this questions a zillion times already...but here goes...My Christmas Day starts with me having to go into the radio station and go on air again. When I have finished that, I will go home for our traditional BBQ breakfast....yum! My hubbys parents and Ricco will be joining us for that. After opening pressies, we will all head to my Brother-in-laws family and have lunch (ham, chicken, prawns, mangoes, salads) and swim in the pool. Then we will drag out tired asses home and crash on the lounges while the kids lay on the floor ready for an early night.

And that, my friends, is Xmas in the disgusting Aussie heat!

My brother's house near Moss Vale. Maybe he's finished building it, but that's where we'll be having lunch. It'll probably be raining.

Christmas morning we will wake up to see what Santa left us in Connecticut, but will head up to our place in Vermont in the late evening. The snow has been falling and the skiing will be great for the kids and my wife. Hopefully I can get some good snow shots while up there...

I'll be at the Austin airport, picking up my husband. He was able to get last minute approval to come home from Iraq for the holidays. We'll spend it together for the first time in a couple of years.

Congratulations Val. That's probably the best Christmas present you could have ever gotten.
