Christmas and all that

It has been along time, it you want the finer details of my life then I think most people that read this should have got my newsletter, it is long but bear with it and you might find something interesting in it.
this is me by our Christmas tree in the house, I am finding it very hard to feel Christmassy when it is so hot, even all the carol singing isn't doing it, I guess it doesn't help that all the carols are about winter cold things and I am melting due to extreme heat! Thinking about it though the very first Christmas must have been in the blazing heat, I think it is hot in Bethlehem! (please correct me if I am wrong!) the thought that it is was hot when Jesus turned up on earth makes being here seem abit more christmassy and the real thing not the commercial one!
