I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of our opalholics and gemophiles who support our forum and help it grow. We are now up and running for over 2½ years, and despite no advertising, or even notifications going out for over a year; somehow we have been blessed, and are still together here, and even growing.
A special thanks goes to Bonnie, who didn't even charge us for getting our notifications going again. We are truly blessed!!
May each and every one of you be blessed with love, peace, joy, family, friends, good cheer and good food to share with loved ones this holiday season, whatever you celebrate.
To our Christian members, Merry Christmas
To our Jewish members, Happy Hanukkah!
And for anyone else, Happy Holidays!
And remember ...
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidaze

Over here, Christmas is just a Holiday with very little meaning to most.
For me personally, Christmas seasons past (more than 30 years), where always a busy time due to my chosen professions.
This year not much difference, but yesterday was fabulous, and how it should be.
First I went on a supply run to prepare for tomorrow, and the superb weather invited just sitting somewhere quietly to contemplate.

And after returning home, just spending time with family; cooking, church and a dinner.
Today, its back to the usual: packing my bags and off to the crazy city playing Santa all afternoon

Playing Santa is not so bad. Love the friendly faces of young and old all around. And there is no better feeling than when someone screaming in delight comes running at you (not always just children )
And tonight, the real cooking starts in preparation for a BBQ invite up at the cabin for friends and colleagues tomorrow.
Once that is done and everyone leaves for home (everyone but me, needs to get back to work on 27th.) I will be left alone with the dogs at the cabin, to ring out the season, in my kind of church

Wish you and everyone here a festive season surrounded by family and friends, and all the best for the coming New Year.

Merry Christmas! I'm horribly sick right now with congestion and a bad ear infection. It's been a rough year. I think the surgeries have played a toll on my immune system. But hey! Ear infection... nothing like being a kid again at Christmas, eh? hehehe
Sick or not, and even though I was able to finish my preparations in full this year, I love being with my family and it's still an enjoyable time.
