I know some of you are leaving work early this week and others are off for the duration, so I thought I'd jump in early and wish you all a Happy Christmas - and for those sad enough or bored enough, I've re-worked a Christmas carol (cough) and shoved some bits of vid to it.

www.stevecarter.com/xmas2005.wmv (very silly 8mb)

Have a good one folks - and here's an idea: How's about as many as can, take a photo on Christmas day (not necessarily arty) - just something to give a flavour of your day - wherever you are.

Someone can start a thread on boxing day for any posts.

Have a good one.

Steve

Best rendition of a Carol I've ever heard!

FELIZ NAVIDAD! I'll try and get some photos during our B-B-Q on the beach

Simply excellent.

Have a great Christmas, smug in the knowledge that I won't be the only one to watch that and go for a blast in the car - just for the hell of it.

No time for that - get out there and take some pics.


And remember to hold your camera the other way up - NZ is on the other side of the world you know, and unless you've got a southern hemisphere CF card you could be in trouble (unless CS2 has a suitable filter?!)

If you can still remember it that may not be the most appropriate number ...

A quick bump to remind / suggest this:

"How's about as many as can, take a photo on Christmas day (not necessarily arty) - just something to give a flavour of your day - wherever you are. Someone can start a thread on boxing day for any posts."

Nice video Steve and I enjoyed the soundtrack as well, which is quite something after a day shopping yesterday.

I'm sure the reasons the shops are not heaving with buyers is not unconnected with the annual broadcasting of unpleasant Christmas related 'music'.
