Goodly evening all...

Christmas Shopping done, Gifts all wrapped, most gifts under the Christmas Tree except the ones Santa Clause will bring...

Sipping on an eggnog and rum, will start making calls to all the grandchildren and great grandchildren to make sure they get to bed or are in bed.

At about 21:30hrs will leave a glass of milk and a couple of the Old Girls homemade peanut butter cookies together on the kitchen table for Santa Clause, the Reindeer will get hay and water left out at the Old Homestead by the grandchildren.

I shall call the Royal Canadian Air Force Station around 20:00hrs to make sure the Brylcreem College Boys are in the Air clearing the way for Santa Clause and his Reindeer which are really Caribou in Canuckland. Santas Sleigh always has Navigation/Position Lights, Rotating Beacons and Strobes but wow is it fast....

Well the Old Girl and I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays...

11:28 PM Xmas Eve:

I've been spending all Xmas Evening preparing my corn-fed Chicken, loads of assorted vegetables, and potatoes for roasting, ready for early tomorrow morning, when I will coat the Chicken with butter, salt and pepper, and herbs and spices, cover it with smoked streaky bacon and aluminium cooking foil, and pop it onto my gas oven, gas mark 5, for a few hours!
...and make up some Sage and Onion Stuffing....
...and my AMAZING Gravy!

I know its all going to be absolutely fantastic, when its all served on a HOT plate ready to devour!!

Apple Pie and Custard for Pudding!

A very Happy Xmas to all my many various Simviation Chums....

...enjoy yourselves... ...!

...I know I will!.... ...!

Paul..... ...!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas one and all.

Merry Christmas everyone,

Goodly morning all...yes it is Christmas Morning here in Canuckland....I started calling the grandchildren and great grandchildren around 05:30hrs. as well as some neighbours children to let them know Santa Clause had been, found they were all up...seems Santa Clause was good to them all...

Here in Canuckland where the Old Girl and I are there is no SNOW, that is unusual, the temperature is usually on the Minus Celsius Scale with a least a foot or two of snow for Christmas Day.

No SNOW forecasted until next week perhaps and the temperatures are on the Plus side of the Celsius Scale.

I need to do my Snow Dance before folks start going outside and mowing/cutting their lawns/grass

Will meet at the Bugsmasher Field around 10:00am to exchange gifts with the other Old Retired Rocking Chair Flying Geezers, we draw names and have a set limit which to spend. Works great and we have been doing this for years.

Then it is off to the Old Homestead, the Old Girl has been driving back and forth all week, our eldest son is away flying for God-Queen-and the Universe... Will be home on the 6th of January.
However most of our other children are home this year with their families but did not make it to Ontario this Christmas, next year there will be several Family Reunions and one is planned for Christmas.
Well it seems the Old Girl just got off the phone again with our Daughter in Law and between the two of them all is going according to the great plan

Now it is time to tell you fellow Simviation Members just how good...great I was this year...

Well looks like I am going to be busy for awhile

Now if I can just get our eldest son to finish his Motion Simulator down in the Hangar and stay home long enough to build me a Motion Simulator that would be awesome

Every year Santa Clause seems to drop off a present or two at one of our Simviation Members WigWam, CHUCK...is there anything under your Christmas Tree for me this year that maybe Santa dropped off to you by mistake Chuck

Have a Merry Christmas everyone and leave the over eating to me...

Merry Christmas to all my friends here at Simviation, the best group on any flightsim site on the web!

Yes a very happy Christmas to everyone

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

Today is Boxing Day...the stores everywhere will be packed with folks looking for those big savings...Boxing Day is busier than Black Friday.

My personal feelings are if they can sell something before Christmas at one price then on Boxing Day sell it for 50% or More Less and not take a loss, plus still pay their employees for working a Holiday then we as the general consumer and public are being gouged

Mr. Flying Trucker

Like the song, sing some guys have all the luck . But I believe you have earned for what you (sow)

Happy Holiday and Happy New Year To All

Sorry, may be next time
