Merry Christmas to you!

Just want to say thank you for reading my blog during the past year - I appreciate your support, comments and feedback. I know a lot of folk have had a very tough year, so I want to say I hope you have a good holiday break, and see you in the new year! May I recommend swimming in the sea at every opportunity, perfect Kiwi summer activity. Yes, we celebrate Christmas in summer. We're crazy like that.

[The godfather of soul recorded three Christmas albums during his career, and songs off them were compiled in the mid 90s for CD release, which doesn't seem to show up on iTunes.]
