Maurene's Amaryllis burst in to bloom just in time.
The Central URC ad hoc choir bursts in to song and raises funds for Christian Aid as they delight passing tourists 
The sanctuary is filled with the glow of candlelight in anticipation of the Service of Lessons and Carols
Maurene excitedly closes her eyes as she and Jessica prepare to tuck in to Christmas Dinner. Please note the consummate British vegetables on their plates -Brussels Sprouts and Roasted Parsnips 
As our food digested we gathered around the television to hear the annual Christmas Day Queen's Speech. This was our first year to listen to Her Majesty as nationalised British subjects. If George Bush were given a "1" and Barack Obama a "10" I would give the Queen a "6 "for her rhetorical skills.A few Christmas photos
These are in chronological order starting from the top. Well, actually, the Amaryllis didn't bloom until Christmas Eve.

How nice to see the familiar and dear locations of our earlier visit. The church is looking picturesque in the warm lighting. I think I can almost hear the strains of the choir. The Queen is looking quite fit. Maurene looks lovely, as always (as does Jessica, of course). And, may I say, those Brussels sprouts look mighty tasty. Our Christmas celebration included re-acquainting ourselves with some of the pigs we encountered in your fair city. The uninitiated reader can only guess as to the true meaning of this part of my remarks. At any rate, thanks for the pictures and thanks very much for your thoughtfulness, expressed in a book filled with pigs. Merry Christmas!
