Merry Christmas from snowy Rhode Island, where over two foot of snow fell this past weekend. We're surely have a white Christmas

I am hoofing it to work (in my car) for a 1/2 day and then I'm off for the rest of 2009..........


Merry Christmas and All The Best for 2010, may all your genealogy dreams come true!

Andrew the penquins are adorable

Merry Christmas to all!

Bill asked me what I wanted for Christmas this year so I told him I wanted to go to the beach!

We were going to leave today, but there is a big storm head over from Texas so we'll wait and leave Christmas morning which is supposed to be sunny here!

Will bring back pictures!

Love the new Christmas look of the board...well done, Andrew! xmas:o

Marilyn, I would be happy to pass up on more snow here in Minnesota, but I know it's coming...it's nice to see, but the sun and warmth is so much more welcome. If nothing else, this cold weather will prepare me for when I'm in Scotland.

Merry Christmas one and all! xmas:cheesygrin:

Regards,
Anne H xmas:smile:

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone.
The scene is very Christmassy here in the Scottish Borders. Our car is snowed in at the bottom of the street! Turkey had to be picked up today so it came unceremoniously in the old rucksack!
Hope you all have a great time.

And Merry Christmas from South Carolina, too! I almost forgot that Christmas will arrive for many of you before it arrives in the USA.

Nice job, Andrew - on the graphics and on the penguins.

We won't have snow here - warm and rainy. I just put my neighbors on a plane to Wisconsin, but the way the weather map looks, they'll be lucky to get there at all.

Warmest wishes to all, Mary Ellen
