Merry Christmas

[fallenarch]

Figured I would be first! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas. It's been a crazy year with lots of obstacles overcome and some new ones encountered. But as always I am thankful for whatever comes my way. Thanks especially to @captain for keeping this place going, it's always a pleasure. Thanks for all of you who keep something going to make it entertaining.

The weather here is amazing and we have some really nice, aggressive rides planned. Hopefully it will not rain.

Anyway, here's to a good year gone and looking to the next part of the Journey!

Thanks digger, yeah I'm riding the Busa to my sister's place for Christmas lunch, she's in Rangoon (Rangiora) about 70kms from me so it'll be a cruzy day for me on the bike.

I never knew that about the German tradition . . .
we call that " double-dipping", . . . . frowned upon here

I only have those only because I am german and my wife is canadian.

The tradition in germany is quite different. We have our santa at the 6th of december. (means he comes by if you hire someone to do it.) The gifts are only small for that evening.

And then on the 24. th in the evening the "christkind" (some type of angel ) comes by and brings the gifts. There is no actual figure like santa. It comes when you are not there kind of thing.
It usually works by - the living room will be closed for the day and the parents set up the tree and the room and help the "christkind" to set everything up.
Then in the late afternoon on the 24.th we go to church. Afterwards home and have dinner.
After dinner a bell rings and we are allowed to go in the living room....tree, gifts music etc.... Its magical and it was amazing as a kid to be part of that tradition and to"believe" in it!
