Seasons greetings.

[All uphill]

Was thinking of you (as you have been where I am).
Christmas has never been a BIG thing for us but this will be the 1st one on my own**.
But I sincerely wish a good, happy day and a better 2024 to all on here.
** the family want me to join them but I think I would just spend the day wishing Sue was with me.

You won't be alone!

We'll all be here with you!

Christmas was never a big thing with me but I still wish all believers a Happy Christmas.
I will be on my own this year as similar to Dave7 but a longer time.

Season's greeting to you too @Oldhippy , also to all the Cycle Chat congregation from me and the CC Mods Team 🎄
I knew what @wheresthetorch meant, but didn't want to spoil the fun

God bless you all.

Seasons greetings to all, thanks for all the camaraderie this year. I like this point where the focus switches to friends, family or even just contemplative calm. A day with family then hopefully walks and rides beckons this year.

We are on the run in to spring now!

Merry Christmas all.

Merry Christmas, Wesołych Świąt Bożego Narodzenia and Heerlijk Kerstfeest to all the wonderful Cyclechatters from me and Madam Lexi.

We follow Polish traditions here chez Casa Reynard, so we celebrate Christmas this evening, but fear not, there's Xmas pud till we burst tomorrow.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Especially to those who'll spend the day alone! Remember, there are many millions of us spending the day alone. Therefore you are not alone!❤️

A busy year, been a very stressed bunny at work for the last few weeks, and it's taken most of the weekend to unwind and to start to feel 'festive'.
But couldn't help enjoying myself once we saw friends and family today. Finally hit the sofa this evening with a glass of mulled wine each, happy in the knowledge we're ready for the big day.

Have got Christmas stockings ready for my wife and the children; time to go to bed soon.
And as the clock has already ticked over midnight, it finally feels appropraite to say Merry Christmas to all!

I've often wondered why some Polish graves in the local cemetery have candle lit lanterns on Christmas Eve and not just on Christmas day, but now I know. I always light a candle on my dad's grave on Christmas Day. It's something I've done every year since he died 22 years ago and will continue to do, for as long as I can.

It's tradition in Poland when to put a candle (znicza) on a grave whenever you go visit. I've done that when I visit the grave of my favourite racing driver.

Although a znicza is quite particular - they're hand-sized plaster of Paris lamps, usually round, but sometimes heart-shaped, with anything up to three wicks and filled with red wax.

I'll photograph one or two and post the pics' later today of the graves with a lamp on. Most are graves from the 1960's, but I think there might be one one from the 1990's.
