Merry Christmas!


 Here is our newest addition to the family, Miss Georgia Carol, buried in Christmas parcels and happiness - sitting alongside her cousin Olly. (this picture says that it's time to be merry, especially if you are still too young to get amongst the egg nog!)

 This Griqua Psalm says what we would like to say - a Christmas Prayer if you will.

Loosely translated for our non- Afrikaans speaking blog followers: " May the Lord touch you deeply, and may there be so much goodness in your life that you feel embarrassed to admit to having so many blessings!"

To our Afrikaans speaking followers - dit se vir julle alles!
 Merry Christmas - Holly and the Bethlehem Star make a pretty cake to give to friends .


Our little town has a Christmas Lights competition every year - entrants are ordinary folks who dolly up their houses with lights (Some even have Christmas music playing over speakers!) and stand to win great prizes. We took the map, provided by the little local newspaper, and drove around the streets of Wanganui and viewed some of the entrants for this year.
Here is a moustached, blow-up Santa on a blow-up motorbike in someones' front garden!
 

And this house was pretty spectacular with a 'light show' appearing on the front lawn at intervals, and "It's Christmas time in the city" playing at full-tilt!
So, wherever you are, we wish you a wonderful Christmas and send our love and best wishes for a marvellous year ahead - full of happy times and contentedness!
Dis al!
