Merry Christmas everybody.

Maybe Santa will come and visit some of us tonight, maybe, if we’ve been nice and good people through out the year. I meet him on the 20est in Sai Kung. It was the day we were leaving to go to holiday in Aberdeen –not the Hong Kong version, but the real one, in Scotland. Well I was surprised to see him there on the 20est, but then again I thought that would kind of be all right as he then could manage to be here n Scotland sometime tonight to unload all our presents. Just to be sure he knew that we were not in our house in Tai Wan village a approached him and made him clear we wouldn’t be there. By the way, I’m not sure how he can manage to give the Hong Kong people their presents, as there are no chimneys on Hong Kong houses. FA change from the recent 23 degrees during the day, to just above 0 degrees in just 12 hours. It could be a very quick change from summer to winter, without the autumn but it isn’t. That is the fact when you travel from Hong Kong to Scotland in December, so if you believe it or not, it was two very cold passengers who got picked up at the airport in Aberdeen at noon on Sunday the 21st. The preparations for the arrival of Santa in the morning is all going well and we’re on time, the 7,5 kilo turkey is in its “bath” of water, herbs and different vegetables, just waiting the last 24 hours before being cooked, the stuffing is ready, the sausages wrapped with nice slices of bacon and the wine is selected and put in the right temperature, so what could possible go wrong; well the fact that Santa is still stuck in Sai Kung, enjoying the nice temperatures around there. Merry Christmas to all out there and enjoy the next few days – and more- and don’t eat too much. And just to follow the big majority of UK shops and warehouses: en joy Slade and their Christmas hit from 1977: “Merry Xmas everybody”
