Merry Christmas from here to there

[Ephraim Tutt]

One of the great joys for me in 2009 has been to discover the lounge and its collection of vintage devotees.

It has been a real delight to get to know you all and I'll look forward to sharing some more of our shared passion in 2010.

For now, I wish you all the most joyous of Holiday seasons from my home in Brisbane to wherever yours is. I come from a strange land that swelters in summer's humid, steamy heat and yet still insists on lustily singing 'Jingle bells' and 'Winter Wonderland' at this time of year!

Now...how about some seasonal shots of where you live? :eusa_clap

E.T., I'm short on photos on the subject but thank you for your wonderful post. And a 'warm' of Merry Christmas back to you, friend!!

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Many thanks Gene!
And yes indeed - A warm (let's be honest - a hot!) Aussie Seasons Greetings to you and your family.
I'm looking forward to seeing more of your incredible lid collection in 2010.
All the very best, mate!

Merry Christmas

Those pictures were beautiful. I hope you and yours have a very blessed Christmas season. I know you have no hope of a white Christmas I just hope it will not be too hot for all those down under.

Tutt, I'm jealous! Merry Christmas from Philadelphia where we had a record breaking 23.2 inches of snow last weekend. We're still shoveling! As far as pictures, just find a blank piece of paper and stare at it! Merry Christmas! Best, Sam

G'day and a belated Happy Hanukkah to you and yours Brother Sam!

We're never satisfied are we? In the midst of our hot, humid summer I'm dreaming of a white Christmas - and you're jealous of our heat and humidity!

We must swap some wine notes come 2010!

Wishing everyone a happy Christmas and a successful 2010 from snowy Kent.

A rare white Christmas in Denver

Michael Gellner, Denver, sports an umbrella to keep the snow flakes off of him as he walks on a path on the northeast side of Washington Park Wednesday morning on his way to the recreation center. (THE DENVER POST | ANDY CROSS)

I'd rather be in Brisbane.

Merry Christmas to all of you from the freezing north.:cheers1:

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Most of you are shivering....but you gotta admit that your place looks much more like Christmas than mine!

Love that Denver shot, Paisley.

Merry Christmas all!

Another Philadelphian here. There's more snow than in this pic.

In my ongoing effort to bring world peace by getting every human being drunk as a skunk, I am pleased to present George Washington's egg nog recipe:

I make this recipe annually on New Year's Day and invite my neighbors to partake. I can highly, and I mean HIGHly recommend it! Merry Christmas around the globe. Best, Sam

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Sounds like a great way to start the Year Torts. Good ol' George eh!

I might even give it a try!!

Merry Christmas from Valdosta, GA where it never snows and we've been known to have 70 degrees and balmy on the big day.

Here's a few shots of the Goose's Nest

No professional shots, but the lights that the pop and mom stores in my own neighborhood put up.
Merry Christmas from the Far East, Peace on Earth, Goodwill to Men.
