Good morning Soupers 


I have noticed that many competitions here on PS concentrate on the white Christmas and traditional celebrations as themes. 


This photo was taken yesterday by a friend of mine near her home in Cape Town. Maybe this will clear up any questions regarding our Christmas celebrations. The only thing we really do have in common is the church service and perhaps, also, the Christmas stocking. Hence my poem, The Christmas Stockings, in the spirit of love and light at Christmas time.


Love & Peace

Su

    You have just reminded me i have photo's on my camera from my last holiday with a chap on the beach in his floss trunks. He was built like this chap here but he insisted on lathering himself all over in oil in front of everyone and I mean ALL over, he was so well oiled I was just waiting for him to sit down again because i was convinced he would slide straight out of his seat xx
