Well, folks, the big day is here at long last, and I hope you are all ready for it, and I do hope you all have a lovely day with lots of good food, presents and fun.

Just take a moment to remember those that aren't as fortunate as we are. Christmas is about giving and spending time with loved ones, and there are some today that don’t have that privilege, both animals and humans.

The thread is open all day, and a few will be on this evening if you want to join us and tell us how your day has gone, how your meal was, and any exciting presents you have received.

Kieran and I would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and thank you for all your contributions this year, and we look forward to many more.
