You're right. Both our neighbours have visited Jerusalem at Xmas in years gone by. It's a popular place to spend the holidays. Well, WAS and will be again one day Greetings to you Yael
Merry Christmas Linda to you and all you love from down here in Melbourne (where Boxing Day is just beginning) Lunch yesterday was a BBQ in the warm sunshine, today will be similar watching/listening to the cricket at the MCG Against the poms this year- 2 tests down, just need this one and the Ashes are ours...again 😊🎅💕
Lots of good 'tucker' and plenty of good people to share in it. Mr B made what the humans deemed a good beef casserole, but they ate too much to move onto the xmas pudding - so it's still sitting on the kitchen table. I catsonally prefer a week of leftover turkey to a week og leftover xmas pudding. Xxx Mr T
Good evening Pireaus. There's plenty of pork leftover for people and pets. Personally I preferred the sprouts, potatoes and Kumara, oh and the stuffing. We had brownies instead of Xmas pud. No leftovers 😅
