A lovely Christmas Carol from far away.

Thankyou everyone who has read Submarine Matters during 2018. And thankyou all who have commented. In 2019 I aim to move to Adelaide, South Australia, where most of Australia's naval ship and submarine building is to happen.
The social situations of Christmas are often funny. Here's a list of what some might have quipped in the past.
“Santa Claus has the right
idea. Visit people only once a year.”
After a good Christmas dinner one can forgive
anybody, even one's own relatives. - Oscar
Wilde
So we put up the National Christmas Tree to celebrate the birth of Jesus. But we won't take it down. It can stay up to celebrate MY Birthday in June.
“I stopped believing in Santa
Claus when I was six. Mum took me to see Santa in a department store. Then
Santa asked me for my autograph.”
“Aren’t we forgetting the
true meaning of Christmas. The birth of Santa?”
“I bought my kids a set of batteries for Christmas with a note saying,
toys not included.”
- Bernard Manning
"Christmas is a time when you get homesick, even when you’re home." - Carol Nelson
Wretched, guilty, excess is an unfortunate human trait that turns what should be a quiet, peaceful, Christmas season into a crazy frenzy of shopping.
"Christmas is a time when you get homesick, even when you’re home." - Carol Nelson
Wretched, guilty, excess is an unfortunate human trait that turns what should be a quiet, peaceful, Christmas season into a crazy frenzy of shopping.
Christmas Shopping: I think its wonderful
to buy all my friends a gift that doesn't need dusting, but is practical and personal. So I bought all my friends Gift Certificates for flu shots.
“What kind of Christmas
present would Jesus ask Santa for?” -
“There are some people who want to throw their
arms round you simply because its Christmas; there are other people who want
to strangle you simply because it is Christmas.”
"At Christmas, Santa's
presents are compulsory. Relatives are optional.” ― Santa
Wishing everyone all the best over Christmas and in 2019.
