As the western world aproaches Xmas we have come over all binary; 'Going away for Xmas?', 'Done your Xmas shopping yet'?', 'Ham or turkey?', Beach or home?', 'Love it or hate it?', 'Saving or spending?', to list just a few inanities. Then there are internet jokes, shopping guides, late nights at the mall, mad displays in the supermarkets, fake felt antlers, Xmas earrings and all that bloody goodwill.There are also people who will miss out on all of this because they are blind, deaf, oblivious, depressed, broke, cracked but not yet broken or just plain resistant.
Well, best wishes for whatever makes you happy that doesn't involve hurting anyone or running up an enormous credit card debt. May you have time to enjoy the little things like raindrops on roses and a few of your favourite relatives and friends who keep you cheery.
I will resume in the New Year to rant about the impending Thugby World Cup in Auckland and about politics generally.
Here's a quick hit of Crown Lynn to see the New Year in.

Nice layout.
Someone actually told me I was horrible because I don't buy xmas crap for my kids. Luckily for them, I just brushed it off, rather than demonstrating how truly horrible I can actually be.
My standard line is now, "I'm not Christian so I don't really celebrate xmas."
Ah it's good that all of us will be together on Xmas day I think.....we seem to be like-minded. The half bro also hates Xmas....no hate is too strong a word....doesn't get into the jollity. Yep for me I keep thinking what a mess Christians have made of the world...and all the other religions too. Sigh. See you on Xmas day then? :-)
