Gleðileg Jól
It is the 24th and having survived the Icelandic 23rd -don´t ask,just imagine the taste of rotten sting ray and that is all you need to know- I am ready and good to go with the whole idea of Christmas.
Excessive gifts have been purchased, food that would feed three time the people we actually are and electricity levels reaching new hights; this only means one thing: Christmas is here and in about 2 1/2 hours I will be feasting and opening presents like crazy.
While making this year´s desert (a trifle- be very impressed!) all of you popped into my mind and I put everything down and decided to post a short message to all of you:
Merry Christmas you lot! May a glance at the year that has gone by bring a smile to your face, may the good memories far outweigh the bad ones and may all of you feel loved, special and cared for. You are an extraordinary part of my life and although very far away, you´ll still be with me right here, when we sit around the tree and reflect on our blessings. I might even count YOU twice :)
Wonderful Holidays everybody "and to all a good night!"

Happy Holidays and peace to all.

Have a very Merry Christmas Minka!
Merry Christmas! Sounds like you have everything in the bag:)
btw, your talk of flooding made me go peek at other country's weather, and I came across a most interesting site about the Icehotel in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden--you probably know all about it, but it's facinating, how an entire hotel melts away every spring! According to the weather reports I saw, that region is freezing now, luckily.
(I always forget something) Thanks for the lovely music!
Wow, trifle!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I just came by to count a blessing.
Merry Christmas, Minka.
Morgan, same to you and may it be bright!
Joel, thank you and may yours involve delicious take out one of these days :)
Actonbell, I knew about the ice hotel. There is weird stuff in the world :) I am glad you like the music, it is not everybody´s piece of cake. But it is very festive German and I have to celebrate both my nationalities ;)
Doug, I counted you twice ;)
al, a very merry Christmas to you too :)
Beautiful. just like you. thank you, dearest Monika -- and warmest wishes for a beautiful Christmas and a Happy/Joyous New Year.
Trifle? please tell me you nixed the sauteed beef & onions... (sorry, as a "Friends" fan, you knew i couldn't resist). in all honestly, that's one dessert i can make, too! hmmmm... y'know, *some* day, we may have to compare notes and/or ingredients, eh girlfriend?
HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY! xoxox
Beautiful Christmas message and The Vienna Boys Choir adds the perfect touch - nice blending of your cultures.
So glad to consider you part of my blessings for the past year as well.
Merry Christmas

Minka -- I wish you a very Merry Christmas full of joy, love, family, friends and laughter. (And making a trifle is no trifling thing.)
And horses, Quilly. Christmas ain't Christmas over at Minka's place without the horses ...
Make merry, Minka. That's no trifle.
:)
Merry (it's) Christmas (today)!

It's going to be down around 3 degrees tonight, but rebounding back to 25 degrees by the weekend. Lots of rain the past several days.
Minka -- I don't want a surprise in January. I want confirmation of what I think is true.
Brian, sounds like you could be just as well in Icleand.
Quilly, I know how you feel and the best of luck with it! Since I am dishing out luck like nothign today, I am gonna give myself a bit too. *sprinkles fairy-dust all over herself*
Hoho! Hope that you got tons of presents. Guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr! And we'll see in 2007 :-) Big hug, Heike
Hi, Minka! I finally made it around. :) Hope you had an excellent Christmas. It sounds like you were prepared for a sumptuous one.
