Merry Christmas to you all. The boy in me still wants to open presents when I first awake, but now I got to wait for the grandchildren to arrive.

Clear night last night so up early to shut the observatory down after a night of automated imaging. Wonder if I caught Santa on any of my images

It's bright and sunny here in Sydney, with cloud and rain forecast for SWMBO's family afternoon - outdoors. Enjoy a greeting originally by Peter Brown and as amended by Richard Lingg and me.

Quote:
All we wanted to say was "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year".....

We ran it past the Legal Dept as per procedure and this is what came back.......

From me ("the Wishor") to you ("the Wishee")

Please accept without obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, politically correct, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the summer or winter solstice holiday (as appropriate to the Wishee's hemispheric location), practised within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice,with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all . I wish you a financially successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2011, but with due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures or sects, and having regard to the race, creed, colour, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform or sexual preference of the Wishee.

By accepting this greeting you are bound by these terms that:-

This greeting is subject to further clarification or withdrawal. This greeting is freely transferable provided that no alteration shall be made to the original greeting and that the proprietary rights of the Wishor are acknowledged. This greeting implies no promise by the Wishor to actually implement any of the wishes. This greeting may not be enforceable in certain jurisdictions and/or the restrictions herein may not be binding upon certain Wishees in certain jurisdictions and is revocable at the sole discretion of the Wishor. This greeting is warranted to perform as reasonably may be expected within the usual application of good tidings, for a period of one year or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first.

The Wishor warrants this greeting only for the limited replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the Wishor.

Any references in this greeting to "the Lord", "Father Christmas", "Our Saviour", "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer" or any other festive figures, whether actual or fictitious, dead or alive, shall not imply any endorsement by or from them in respect of this greeting, and all proprietary rights in any referenced third party names and images are hereby acknowledged.

Wishee agrees to indemnify Wishor from, against, and in respect of, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, libels, suits, actions, expenses (including attorneys fee's) and proceedings arising from, or in connection with, any claim, complaint, suit, proceeding or cause of action against Wishor alleging physical injury, including death, brought by, or on behalf of an injured party, and arising out of the negligence or willful malfeasance of Wishee in execution of aforementioned holiday.

This greeting is made under Australian Law.

I used to go one step further and "leave" reindeer droppings (dried cat food).. Wet & soggy day here too.

My daughter is still sleeping -it's 9am & Xmas morning for heavensake - my cats are embracing the morning more . Oh this is when I really miss the sound of little children around .

Happy Christmas Leon and everyone , have a great day everybody!


What part of the country are you and Alice celebrating Christmas from Leon?

Thanks Suzy, well we are actually home in Balllarat for Christmas, with the grand kids and the whole family, and spent a great day with them.

We will be heading West very shortly.
