It is such a small world, my 1st cousin Carol and hubby George have just built a home at. 22'4'56.06N 159'22'6.89W Waipoila road, kapar.on Kauai.

It is a small world after all. Waipouli is in a beautiful part of the island and there are some amazing views from there. This reservoir is nearby.

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!

I don't know Judi, looks like the BBQ may be inside this year, or under the umbrella. Merry Christmas to you all.

This looks like a very nice area to live, and under snow what a treat, we had snow for Christmas in 1965 when I lived in Canberra, the nations capital, beautiful but cold. Merry Christmas.

We'll be a couple of gentiles from Minnesota spending Christmas with friends "Jewish style" in NYC. We'll be looking at the lights and displays on Christmas eve and then heading over to Chinatown for dinner. Fa-ra-ra-ra-ra__ra-ra-ra-ra as they say in the movie "Christmas Story" I'm really looking forward to spending Christmas in a way that I've never experienced it before.

I will spend the morning assembling whatever Santa brings the boys, then after lunch we'll be traveling about 90 miles to the cemetery to spend some time with their Daddy. Later in the evening we will go look at Christmas lights, then wrap up the night with a reading of the Christmas story from Luke 2. Finally, I'll count my many blessings before going to bed.
