Merry Christmas Everyone!

Hello and warmest welcome to all peeking in here on this fine Christmas Eve evening. While some of you might still be busy with last minute shopping, wrapping, decorating, cooking or any other pre-Christmas pottering about, I will be sitting down to have the Christmas Eve meal with my beloved family.

So allow me to wish you all a wonderful, happy and peaceful Christmas, full of magic and miracles and that this special time can be shared with all those who are close to your hearts.

I have a special festive train waiting for you today to take you straight to Christmas! :)
