Happy Christmas 2009

It might be Christmas Eve 2009 where you are but here in Perth the clock has passed midnight and it’s Christmas Day.

I want to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very happy day as you celebrate Christmas wherever you are in the world. Many will be experiencing a white Christmas while here in Perth, Western Australia, we have a hot summer day forecast. At 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) it’s not quite a scorcher but I’m glad we have air conditioning.

Remember to pace yourself throughout the day so that you don’t regret it all on Boxing Day and don’t forget to take time out to reflect on what Christmas is truly all about.

Glory to God in the highest, and on Earth peace, good will toward men. – Luke 2:14

It’s our first Christmas in our new (well … new to us) home and we’ll be hosting my side of the family for Christmas lunch.

I’d really love to hear how you’ll be celebrating. Please leave a comment or two to let me know.
