Happy Birthday, Joan. May next year be even better than the past. May all the things that bring you joy (in addition to penguins and hedgehogs) be yours in the coming year.
Warm regards and good health,
Morgan

What a corker! Wish it had been clear enough to get a look up this way :)

Once again, Stuart, Great pictures! The inverted image with the satellite trail was interesting. Also, I appreciate an occasional shot with a something to give size reference; the gentleman pointing gave a sense of proportion. THANKS!

Santa trades in his sled for water-skis, and you should see his skills

This is a worrying move - will he get stuck with his skis sideways-on in the first chimney? Will he leave puddles of sooty lake water on the floor?

Gingerbread Village is lovely, looks like a task for long January nights instead of during the bustle before Christmas, however.
Regarding Santa on skis, I am worried about how much water that white fur trim and red crushed velvet coat can absorb. If he falls he will have one terrible time getting up again.
Stay safe all.

Thank you Stuart- the Gods of e-images have decided to go to sleep on you...they will be on Santa's naughty list ;) ;) :D
Have another bash - I'm looking forward to my surprise :D

I'm signing out now, well south of midnight here. I've decided not to put the garden trailcam out because it might catch Santa and that would mean an empty stocking in the morning.

A very merry Christmas to us all :D
