Just wanted to start a thread to wish all on this site, and visitors, all the very best for a safe and joyful holiday season.
Also, if you want, I and I assume others, might be interested in knowing what some of us are getting up to over the break.
First Christmas in ages that Mrs Baggers and I are taking it easy. Just the two of us on Christmas day and lots of visitors over the following week. Besides, the home renovation is now in the home stretch and I'm keen to finish it... and if I don't complete Mrs Baggers' timber outdoor setting there'll be 2/3rds of a pawnbrokers sign over our front door.
Cheers and very best folks...
Thanks Baggers. I send my same best wishes to your family and all of the people on this site.
Season's greetings Baggers and to all other CSC members. I hope that Christmas is merry and that the New Year is a prosperous and happy one!
May the boys bring us much joy in 2020!! ;D
My son came down to spend Christmas Eve with us and we’re off to my daughter’s in Torquay today. Seeing the grandkids really makes Christmas for me :)
We’re spending this evening with my outlaws at 13th Beach. I’m the designated driver so no drinking for me today ... and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I was crippled with a gout-like pain in a knee last Christmas :(
Have a great Christmas everyone 🎄
Thanks for starting the thread Baggers. BTW love your pic 💙
Wishing all a safe and peaceful holiday season.
This year is a strange Christmas for us. We had the family come to ours over the past few days. Today it's just the two of us, which is a bit weird. When it cools down it'll be seafood on the bbq and a cold drink or two.
Cheers everyone 🍾
Seasons greetings to all
Mrs G2C and I had Xmas in France with 210 of her relos, huge event. Now off to trot around Europe then more visits to fam in Italy

I think Klingon for happy NY is 5 fingers pointing upward, then raised upward to the heavens.
Vulcan is, "What a curious thing, this NY celebration. It is in fact simply another day. Strange things, these humans."
(I made up the Klingon one ;-) )
I didn't think I'd live to see 2020 after Monday nite in Orbost ....I now know what hell looks like

Glad that you made it! Not the best of times to be in that part of the world. Hope you remain safe and sound.

Thanks crash :) Right at this moment, it's a pea soup London fog outside. Just makes driving conditions even more hazardous. 22 hours without sleep, drenching the house with buckets and hoses ...

Bloody hell, CC, please take care of yourself mate. Our thoughts are with you.
What really worries me is that we're only early in summer and these fires in NSW, SA, QLD and VIC have been on and off for more than a month already.
Can't even breathe outside Baggers !! You need a gas mask. Literally ....
Take care of yourself CC in this very dangerous time. Someone very close to me got back from Orbost last Sat after visiting her sister for Christmas. They then both travelled back to Melbourne together. Talk about getting out by the skin of their teeth! At that time it was black soot raining down from fires quite a long distance from the town. How quickly things can change.
The CFA is just down my street Cookie. They watched out for all of us and they're gonna get some slabs from me tmrw. Staggering devotion to their jobs and the community. The roar of the flame storm and fire on three sides you could easily see made you feel very small VERY quickly.
My lawn's covered in black eucalyptus leaves still perfectly formed. The wave of heat from where they came must have been that intense and the winds did the rest.
Thanks again to all of you :) Mike

One of the truly beautiful parts of Aussie is Gippy, especially east and south (though south of Drouin and north to Neerim South/Jindivick is also damn pretty). We almost moved to Metung a few years back, only work issues prevented it.
We'll meet up at a game this year, Mike, and the pies, dimmies and beers are on me!
:) :) :) Hope so Baggers
It's funny how things can latch onto your mind, reminded by Billy's Jungle conversations.
Fires, wars, and all other sorts of other issues private and public, yet my thoughts continually drifted to Danny Frawley over the NYE period.
How sad, and in the shadow of the fires many more will find themselves in that same head-space, the irony of Christmas/New Year. Something we should all be cognisant of!
I had a rather underwhelming christmas period on a personal level.
My birthday is December 26. My sister, and 2 of her kids came down with Gastro on christmas night, and then I didnt really get any chance to spend any of the holidays with them.
We went out to dinner with my mum as we were going to do "my family's" christmas after christmas day given we spent Christamas eve and day with my wife's family.
Unfortunately that didnt really pan out either as my brother also came down with Gastro.
It was rather dissapointing.
I look forward to a better christmas this year, although hopefully it wont be full of arguing, sadness and one sided ness like this years.
