So this is Christmas...

 Running a bit late with this as I was down all day yesterday with a headache, so just catching up now.  Christmas Day is almost over here, and I've had a lovely day (more in next week's post on that), but for some of you it's just starting.  Enjoy your day...

The annual family photos (from far and near)...

Brothers in arms...

Christmas Kisses - Jaya and Rafe on Christmas morning

Connecticut, USA: in their snowy garden...

Zak, Patrick, Oliver, Dylan, Natasha

Canberra: couldn't get one of the 4 of them together, but this is pretty close :))

O serious ones: Jefferson and Jaya - obviously enthralled by something...

O smiling ones: Rafe and Anushka

Tasmania - 40km away: mother and son...

Marnie and Denver

South Australia: can't keep 'em away from the beach...

Ben, Hazel and Hayley

And to round out the year, this classic...

Simple words, but much to think about.

So...

"What have you done?"  

As you look back over 2020.

"Another year over

A new one just begun"

And what do you plan to do in 2021?

"Let's stop all the fight (now)"

Unfortunately, war is not over, but maybe one day...

We can always hope 2021 will be better...

"Let's hope it's a good one

without any fear"

But

"For weak and for strong

For rich and the poor ones

The world is so wrong"

The inequality continues.

What can we do to make a difference?

"For to be free is not merely to cast off ones chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others" - Nelson Mandela

HAVE A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!
