The Christmas decorations are up in the shops here and unlike Australia, Malaysia put them up in December (very sensible), the carols are echoing throughout the stores and restaurants and children are wide-eyed and excited.
We’re glad to be coming home for the festivities. Actually we land in Australia on Christmas Day (morning ‘pagi pagi’ – very early) and for those of you we will not be able to catch up with while gadding about the various States we send Christmas greetings.
Please forgive us if we don’t send cards – one, we are too lazy to write them and two, we don’t trust the local postal system. So we will post this instead.
THIS YEAR HAS BEEN JUST AWESOME
FROM THE MAGNIFICENT AUSTRALIAN COASTLINE
TO THE BEAUTIFUL INDONESIAN ARCHIPAELIGO
FROM THE WONDERFUL NEW FRIENDS WE HAVE MADE
TO THE NEW CULTURES WE HAVE EXPERIENCED
OUR LIVES HAVE BEEN ENRICHED AND EXPANDED
(NOT TO MENTION OUR WAISTLINES)

| Do I really want to eat this? |
WE DO, HOWEVER ALWAYS REMEMBER OUR ROOTS
AND THERE IS NO DOUBT WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL FOR THEM.
WE SEND ALL OUR LOVE AND VERY BEST WISHES FOR CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR
NEIL AND MARGARET
