ERICKSON NEWS - CHRISTMAS 2018

There are no excuses for forgetting about Christmas, with the tinsel and Christmas carols front and centre in all the shopping centres. As the pressure builds, the inevitable questions intrude into our otherwise quiet and orderly lives. Who is coming on the big day? Do we have all the presents sorted? Have we missed anything?

But really, these are the incidentals. The real joys of Christmas are much more significant. As always, Christmas gives us a chance to think of our friends and family and shout out our Christmas hello. It is also our chance to prepare to celebrate the birth of Christ, the true reason for this Christmas holiday period.

It has been a quieter year for us here at 1 Avoca Crescent as we enjoy our retirement, but we can still chat a bit about what has been happening. So let's get into it without further ado! You can read the finer details in our Christmas letter: Our Christmas Letter

And now onto the usual annual collection of photos.
