I dont have the kids this christmas, we alternate, but have them until the 22 december, and after christmas until the 2nd January. Schools and exams ended over a week ago. We dont go anywhere christmas as it is too busy, and rather take holidays at another time. Besides, my daughter just had an Op for a sports injury so is in a sling for 6 weeks, so we can't do much. I guess we will have our traditional Turkey dinner on the 27th or Old Years Eve (where you don't want to go out due to all the drunks and false cheer), and lots of braais. Temperature is usually high 30s so who wants to be indoors.
On the 3rd Jan I leave for my bi-annual bike trip of 4000-5000 km of dirt, this time across the karoo desert, southern cape mountains and eastern cape. I only have to be back at work mid Jan. I will probably squeeze in a few more day or 2 day trips as well. So it is sun, pool, braais, riding and drinking for me


I guess the northern hemisphere is suffering cold, only a few days off, darkness, shovelling snow, chipping ice, false BS coca cola 'santa claus' ,plastic material christmas, jew owned shops trying to sell you shit and greeting cards, McTurkey, and PC Happy holidays instead of merry CHRISTmas so as not ot offend jews and muzzies

Be blessed all.
