Re: And so it is Christmas
Thankyou SHEC.
I live on an island observing western culture and with no immediate neighbours and know no other language but English. Because I don’t understand Spanish so I looked up Felize Navidad only to find I know the Christmas song well. Thankyou for those greetings and I too wish you and your family well for Christmas. I guess you are looking for a Christmas that’s not too cold and we are looking for one that’s not hot to the extreme.

Re: And so it is Christmas
Whilst most of us will enjoy Christmas with our family and friends, some people in our community will not be so fortunate. Some live in poverty and some have close relatives and friends who have passed recently. A school in Tasmania lost six kids at a school fete only last week in a jumping castle incident. In addition we read stories of road fatalities, many involving kids in stolen motorcars or junkies or stupidity.
There could well be folks in your area that are now alone or feeling isolated following one of the above tragedies. If it is possible do tell them you are thinking of them. Most all of you readers are in the northern hemisphere in winter conditions. Do give your warm and unwanted clothing to those who may need it. To all of you I wish you well, enjoy your family or family reunion. And enjoy your special relationship with Henry’s lady.

Re: And so it is Christmas
I expect this thread will remain dormant until Christmas 2022. Then I'll challenge you all to the best decorated Model A.

Re: And so it is Christmas
Well, it is almost the end of new years day here ...
For us, this sums up 2021. We've had so much rain that some shrubs in the garden have grown more in the past 12 months than the past 20 years. It is green in the middle of summer, such as I've never seen before. https://behindthelines.moadoph.gov.a...?itok=ngbQkXQg and this was the previous year "a dogs breakfast". https://behindthelines.moadoph.gov.a...ransparent.gif |

Re: And so it is Christmas
World war one had troops come out of the trenches to celebrate Christmas, share food and drink with the individuals from the other side. When back in the trenches fighting commenced.
Let's celebrate with the whole world as one. Understand that there are differences and except that. Let's get out of the trenches and celebrate together and enjoy the good that's inside everyone! |

There is no doubt there will be some vernacular you guys won't know but I'm sure you'll get the drift.

Re: And so it is Christmas
This is a bush Christmas, at WeeWaa which is a cotton and cereal growing area in central NSW. In addition to the vista, the attire of those in the picture gives them away as farmers or bushes.

Re: And so it is Christmas
A typo, Gary? I suspect you mean "farmers or bushies" - someone from the bush. For our American friends, that is someone from probably a more remote country area.

Re: And so it is Christmas
No Synchro. That's how I thought it was spelt. Obviously spellcheck never picked it up/differentiated. I got 28/100 for English in my final at school. All these years later I wonder why I even went to school. Except for footie that is.

Re: And so it is Christmas
Hi Katy.
To elaborate on the term footie, which can also be spelt footy. Soccer (which is really for sissies ) is called by players of Ruby Union, Rugby League or Aussie Rules (which has been derived from Gaelic Football) “kick and giggle”. In response sissie soccer players call the three codes of real football “catch and tickle”.
