"To lose the earth you know, for greater knowing; to lose the life you have, for greater life; to leave the friends you loved, for greater loving; to find a land more kind than home, more large than earth"

Holiday 'taint

It aint Christmas any longer and it aint New Year yet. That's why this week seems to be the taint of the holidays; a sort of in between if you will.

For the big night, we had par-tay at our place, deciding it was big enough for everyone and easiest for me to escape in case I become suddenly "out of charm" as the always charming Mathew Rosenberg has been known to say. Big shout out to Matty and Sally, I do miss those guys.
Anyway, it's easily debated whether I had the charm to begin with, but here it was held and there were no surprises.




Flopa was great and looked fab all while keeping things on a low boil. Keep up the good work.

 Luca has made peace with what passes for a Christmas Tree here. He was pleased with his gifts and talk of some days at the beach. Cross fingers and toes kids.


 Ama was holding up well. I shuttled her home after midnight (I saw dozens of people just like me doing the same), but for 90 not a bad night.

















Ceci and Matius. No fuss from this guy, he was enjoying the party or asking questions all night. Well, in his own way.
Ama (caught off guard but alert) with daughter Janine and grandaughter Florencia.





 Vincent was super excited about the whole thing. As soon as the fireworks were finished he was doing something else.

I loved Jani's groovy Christmas outfit. Hope to see more of that, rrrrahhhhr! 
Here, Ximena is also amazed
at something. Maybe those canapes are frightening her.


Merry Christmas everyone and to all a good fight.
