Merry Christmas!

We'll be leaving in about an hour for Cape Town, to spend Christmas Eve with my brothers, sleep over and then spend Christmas lunch with my sis-in-law's family, who have adopted us regularly for the past few years.

There's still quite a bit I need to do before we leave, but the hair is auburn (or ginger!), the prezzies are wrapped, and the Friggin'Ford is going to start looking like Santa's sleigh soon. I sincerely hope we're not hijacked on the way there or back, or that we don't crash! It won't be a pretty sight... :)

Tonight, if I make it that far, I may attend my first Midnight Mass at the Catholic church down the road from my brother's. I heard their bells ring last year, but it was too late to jump out of bed and get there. And tomorrow morning, there's a good chance I'll be joining my brother's band at church on keyboards, for their Christmas service. I haven't played in months, but I suspect my fingers still remember their way round the keys.

So, as a full day winds up, or down, or something like that, let me wish you all the most wonderful Christmas you can imagine! Be safe, be joyful, be at peace. Thank you for being my cyber-community during the past two years. You guys are awesome!

Blessings to all.
