Merry Blooming Christmas

We were woken early in the morning not by Santa coming down the chimney but the flaming phone. First I looked at the clock and realized it was only 6:30am. It had to be my cousin Bob calling from BC as it was 2:30 his time and he was probably drunk and lonely as his family went off to bed .So what does he usually do; he calls us.

Then the voice said it is Alan. So I thought it was my brother-in-law calling from England. Right Country wrong Alan but it was an a good friend named Alan, who we met several years before in Cuba. He and his dear wife Marg called to wish us a very Merry Christmas. Yes the day had started off to be a very good day. We opened the champagne and mixed it with orange juice to toast them.

What a great way to start off the day. To be remembered by dear friends.

Merry Blooming Christmas to all and to all a Good Day.

You must have had a Merry Christmas if you started on the champagne that early. Here's wishing you happy New Year.
