God Jul to you all

Just saying Merry Christmas or whichever variant of seasons greetings you want to take, over the holidays.

I have spent my Christmas at home, spending lots of hours on Skype ringing people, and preparing for my 2 week holiday - one week up here with my Japanese host sister who is coming over, and then a week in Italy. I cooked myself a roast lamb dinner, and today on Christmas day will do the usual partying at Cleo Nightclub, after having a few traditional pre-going-out whiskeys at someone's home.

Here is just a bit of mucking around with a glass of chartreuse and a candle. Next time I'll need to carefully wash the glass.
