Hooray, I was the first to reply. That almost makes up for the fact that I'll be in Philadelphia and Indiana.

Not at home (as I'm single with no kids) but with family (bros, parent, niece, nephew etc) at one of their homes in extremely sunny Newcastle, NSW, Australia. I am so looking forward to the food...I hope we get my sis-in-law's Aunt Gloria's homemade giant Xmas pudding set on fire with Drambuie again this year with King Island cream, or various chocolate or brandy etc sauces or custard...mmmmmmm.

I will be in Townsville, Far North Queensland, Australia. I just sent off an eMail making an appointment to ring my family in Melbourne on Christmas day after we have finished our respective hot sleep inducing dinners.

Cleveland as well.......from the looks of things it will be a soggy Christmas this year! Will have to make up for it by eating vast amounts of rum cake....MMMmmmmm

guerik · Dec 18th, 2003, 08:27

I'll be eating lots of ham, prawns and tropical fruit at home in Canberra (Australia) and hanging out with my family. Then down to the beach for New Year's Eve, and home to pack for my

first trip to India

One of us will be in Delhi with a contstantly ringing mobile phone and one of us will be in Jacksonville FL seeing to a 76 yr old father in poor health who is about to get remarried. That's right, remarried. One of us will be working his ass off and one of us will be missing the Indian sun. Hari om.

In front of an open fire with the family, a mince pie and a glass of whisky/beer, sheltering from the freezing British weather.

At my parent's home in Quebec city for Christmas, a very white Christmas. Then back to Montreal for some NYE parties and leaving on January 1st, hangover, for my first trip to India for 5 months. Yeah!
