Where I come from, Christmas is a cold affair.
We ski, we skate, we make snowmen, snow angels
and drink a lot of hot drinks.
Here, in Australia, Christmas is a very, very, stinking hot
affair.
We eat outside. Preferably by the ocean dressed in
swimming gear and with an Esky full of ice cold
drinks nearby.
For some of us Christmas is a very merry time with
family and friends.
For some of us its more of a solemn, reflective and
''spiritual'' time.
And for many of us its PARTY! time.
Regardless of what we call it: Hanukkah, Yule,
Festival of Lights etc. etc.
It is a time for a break from work (whatever that may be),
from everyday routine
and to spend some time doing something different.
As I am writing this I am waiting to hear from
The Hospital to which my mother has been taken
quite unexpectedly.
Speaking with one of the paramedics I was
told that she has developed a lump on one of her legs
and fearing a blood clot she has been taken
to a hospital near me.
As I may have to dash any moment, I am taking
this waiting time to just wish you a very great Christmas.
Wherever in the world you may be, the reason I
write the stuff that I write and paint/photo the stuff that
I do, is to try and connect/communicate with you.
I appreciate and feel very humbled by the thought
that you spend time
reading my scribbles and looking at my art.
Thank you for doing so.
You are appreciated.
MERRY CHRISTMAS and
a HAPPY NEW YEAR.
