Hi on this slightly wet and slightly warm UK Christmas morning.
At least this global warming lets us turn down the heating a bit at times.
Happy Christmas to everyone.

The word Christmas originated as a compound meaning "Christ's Mass". It is derived from the Middle English Christemasse and Old English Cristes mæsse, a phrase first recorded in 1038. "Cristes" is from Greek Christos and "mæsse" is from Latin missa (the holy mass). In Greek, the letter Χ (chi), is the first letter of Christ, and it, or the similar Roman letter X, has been used as an abbreviation for Christ since the mid-16th century. Hence, Xmas is sometimes used as an abbreviation for Christmas.

Well another Christmass morning, a little cold maybe but not that bad, and one week and it's 2011.
Best wishes to everyone.

Hi all and Happy Christmas.
With high unemployment and no snow maybe a mixed bag.
But hopefully a more prosperous New Year.

Happy Christmas all and hoping you are coping with the rain and everything.
Seems 2012 again is not the end of the world and hopefully 2013 will be lucky for everybody.
