Merry Christmas from Lindy and Bear

Merry Christmas from our family to yours.  Hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends.  If travelling anywhere, stay safe on the roads.

Whilst you are all rugged up for your winter Christmas celebrations, down under we are having a hot day of 31c where we live.  So most likely spending it in the following ways.
