Early tomorrow we head off for the airport to fly to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, to spend Christmas with our son. This will be my last post till well after Christmas as we'll be away four nights and I don't think I'll be able to visit in that time. So have a wonderful, safe, happy Christmas/festive season/holiday and I'll see you all when I return.
And in case you'd like a little laugh about now, and following on from my previous 'big words' post, Vince worked at a school where a nun was employed to take the children for religious instruction. On talking with the children about the birth of Christ she was bemused when one little girl offered the information that Mary had an 'immaculate contraption'.
Edited: The little girl probably heard someone mention the 'immaculate conception' which is part of the teaching of the Catholic Church about the birth of Christ.

@JudyEv Oh, I guess that would confuse some who had never heard of the concept.

@JamesHxstatic I thought you would probably kow about it but I guess it is something many would not have heard of. Just part of my background. Another argument for 'never assume'! :)

My son used to say 'gubs' for 'gloves' which I always thought was cute. :)

LOL . . . It is similar to what a boy responded to a question about the bible on a particular TV program . . . Instead of saying the philistines he said the Philippines.
