ERICKSON NEWS - CHRISTMAS 2019
Gosh, this is the twentieth year I have produced this little Christmas page!
You can’t miss Christmas, with the tinsel and Christmas carols front and centre in all the shopping centres and the relentless commercial push that now seems to pervade all major dates. 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 and cope with a few more challenges than usual, 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.
