Beautiful, Walter.  Thank you.  Watched with subtitles so as not to disturb so don't know if it had Carl Sagan's amazing sexy voice.

Just had some (2 helpings) of my husband's Apfel Strudel and it was just wonderful - lots of nice big bits of apple which was what I wanted, pastry as light as a feather.  Perfect!

I don't know how many people here will like this.... but from my school days in the 1960's Christmas time has meant Jim Reeves.

Here are some favourites.

Thank you for these.

Jim Reeves and Chopin bring the smell of furniture polish into my memory. They were my mother's favourites and she would play them on the radiogram while cleaning the house on Wednesday early closing day. I to a mean version of He'll Have to Go.

Just got a promise of a Christmas present that I'm so excited about. I know that many here are going to laugh at me but I don't care. It's got to be the child in me, I know, but I've always wanted a ride in a fire engine. One of my sons is a firefighter and actually drives the engine. He's about to move to a station that is close to where we live, and he's promised to take the fire engine around the block with me on board, sometime in the New Year. ;D

A very happy Christmas and New Year to everyone. :)

Wow!  Are you actually in India? What a wonderful place to be at Christmas (I presume you'll be back for Hogmanay).

Why am I up so early you may ask? There was something on my mind, I'd forgotten where I'd put it but thankfully found it.  Will return to bed for a couple of hours.
