Wishing You Merry Christmas, Peace and
All Good Things for the coming New Year 2025!

Eija & Jarkko

Hi everyone,
Thank you, Jarkko and Eija, for your warm message and cool image.
Both are always welcomed at this time of the year.
And thank you for being here, year after year - much appreciated!

I am trying to get some relief from this so unwanted hot, humid seasonal weather here down under in the tropics.
One of the best things to do is to take a short stroll down to cool off with the water and sea breeze on my local beach.
My photo of it is posted below.


Looking at it, some lines from LC’s songs spring to my mind:

let me go stand by the sea ~ Time For Counting

Or only want to walk with me a while
Across the sand ~ I’m Your Man

If the sea was sand alone ~ If I Didn’t Have Your Love

I want the sand out there to lie on
And the sea out there to swim ~ Summertime

It’s just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea ~ Hey, That’s No Way To Say Goodbye

Many shells have washed up here:
I’d be caught in the grip
Of an undertow
Ditched on a beach [to be swept to a shore]
Where the sea hates to go [where the sea needs to go] ~ Undertow

The lone seagull:
He'd like to be standing out here alone ~ Song Of Destruction
I stand entirely alone ~ Bells

Ah, now I’m getting carried away once again on the wave of Leonard’s words

Back to the thrust of this thread, I want to sincerely wish every single person Happy Holidays.
Have a Merry Christmas and a Safe and Prosperous New year. With all the turmoil continuing in the world today, all we can do is look after each other and ourselves and hope for better days for The Future.

Season's Greetings to you and your family Jarkko. You and Eija are in my thoughts. Wishing you a warm and peaceful holiday surrounded by the love of friends and family. Big Hug to you both.
