  1. A lovely somertime Christmas down under. Congratulations on the new addition to the family. That’s a great tree. We have never had a traditional Christmas tree in over 40 years of marriage. Looks like auntie Kára went over to the wild side. Excellent songs for the post.

    1. Thanks, Timothy 🙏 Young Finn
      is following a family tradition of
      tipping the scales as a heavyweight
      championship baby 👶🏆😎
      Auntie Kára is also sticking to a
      long cherished family tradition by
      spending some hard time in the
      county jail 🤔🕶️

      1. It all seems very Australian. Champion babies and babes in the clink to be humbled for 30 days. I just hope your jails are more civilized than ours. I was in the super max high-security prison a few weeks ago. Had you heard of the prison riots in 1980 at the NM State Penitentiary? The worst prison riots in US history. I was in one of the replacement facilities. Not a nice place to end up in for long-term incarceration.

      2. Johnny Cash should’ve written a song
        about that! Perhaps even ‘Ten Years In
        A Syrian Prison’ 🎶 Or ‘Alcatraz And All
        That Jazz ~ The Musical’ ? 🤔🕶️
        The British did colonize Australia as a
        convict day care centre, since all their
        prisons were full to the brim. Little
        did they realise that Australia is a
        Gangsta Paradise 😎

    1. Appreciated, Niki 💝😎
      I don’t like to hear the word ‘Grandfather’
      in reference to myself (as I’m much too
      young, of course 😎), but I’m having to
      get used to it the twelfth time around
      (12 × 👶‼️) 🤔🕶️

      1. Twice for me. I requested “Grammy” (I dreamed of winning one as a young songwriter) but they’ve shortened it to Gram Gram. ^^ Lovely pics, too, I meant to say. You have a beautiful family.

    1. Thank you, Anita 🙏 You too 💖😎

      A Scottish (patriarchal) proverb …
      “You can never have too many
      sons to carry on the family name.
      Whereas daughters will send you
      broke and drive you insane.”😵‍💫🕶️
      But only a politically incorrect
      misogynist would bother to say that 😎

      1. Thank you,David 🙏💝
        I have four sons, no daughter.
        An old local saying…
        “ A son is a son until he gets a wife
        A daughter is a daughter for life.”
        But whoever quoted that saying is right.
        Like autumn 🍂 leaves sons detach and fly far away 🍁

    1. Auntie Kára stole the key to my liquor
      cabinet, but unfortunately she doesn’t
      have a key to those handcuffs, JTT🗝️
      Hopefully she’ll be back in time for
      New Year’s Eve 😎🥂🍾🎉

    1. Thank you, Gigi 🙏😎
      I’ll let you in on a family secret,
      Auntie Kara was adopted 🤫🕶️
      So fortunately she shares none
      of her wild child genetics 🧬 with
      baby Finn. Hopefully he’ll turn out
      to be a relatively mild child 🤔🕶️

  16. I spent a fair few Christmas’s in Oz in the past. I used to quite like it there as it’s not done to death like it is here. Also nice to wear shorts, tee shirt and flip-flops in December (thongs being something else to a Pom!)

    1. It’s hitting 40° Celcius outside today, so
      I’m now dreaming of a white Christmas❄️
      Remembering my trip to Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 in
      the summertime, and people complaining
      that the temperature had got to 20°+ ⬆️ 🥵
      I guess a heatwave, like a thong, is in the
      eye of the beholder 👁️🌡️👁️ 😎

      1. I remember one trip to Auckland where I arrived on a ‘a hot day’ @ 21 degrees and the airport transfer bus driver had the AC on full blast. In the UK I just open the friggin’ window if I’m hot ffs! FYI I did 8 years in Kuwait, one of the hottest places on Earth with midsummer temps high 40’s / low 50’s. I spent more than half my 70+ years in hot places. My ideal UK temp is about 28 degrees – no AC required with shorts, tee shirt and flip-flops / thongs mandatory.

      2. I did my time in the south of the South
        Island … but as a freeman. Invercargill,
        in New Zealand, is the place where sea
        monsters go to die and backpackers
        surrender all hope of a warm salvation 🥶🕶️

      I’ve been reliably informed that #13 is
      on the drawing board 👶 A baker’s dozen
      in the oven . . . Only I’m no baker 🤔🕶️
      Wishing you plenty of Christmas power
      to you of the Jazzy Tower 💪🎁

  21. You look so young, David, you just don’t age, my friend. The baby is so precious, what a wonderful Christmas with a new baby, and I love the music. We were jamming out with the “The Old Man Down The Road”. I haven’t heard that song in years, and we both knew it. Great tree and it looked like a wonderful gathering of family. Big hugs to you and the family my friend, many blessings. Joni

    1. Like the old lady who lived in a shoe 👠
      Linda and I are blessed with so many
      grandchildren we just don’t know what
      to do 🤔🕶️
      But we wouldn’t be without them 🥲🕶️
      That much is true 😎
      Big hugs back, Joni … with interest ♾️

        “May He grant you out of the riches of His glory,
        to be strengthened and spiritually energized
        with power through His Spirit in your inner self,
        [indwelling your innermost being and
        personality], so that Christ may dwell in your
        hearts through your faith. And may you, having
        been [deeply] rooted and [securely] grounded in
        love, be fully capable of comprehending with
        all the saints (God’s people) the width and
        length and height and depth of His love [fully
        experiencing that amazing, endless love];
        and [that you may come] to know [practically,
        through personal experience] the love of Christ
        which far surpasses [mere] knowledge [without
        experience], that you may be filled up
        [throughout your being] to all the fullness of
        God [so that you may have the richest
        experience of God’s presence in your lives,
        completely filled and flooded with God
        Himself]”.~ Ephesians 3:16-19 Amplified

    1. We’ve just survived a Yuletide heatwave,
      Daryl. It got hot enough Down Under to
      melt the baubles off a plastic Christmas
      tree! 🌲🥵🕶️ Fortunately Auntie Kára
      has turned over a new leaf for the New
      Year, after turning over my liquor cabinet 😎
