Merry Christmas around the world

I know my keyboard's dribbles are read around the world and I also know that not everyone celebrate Christmas, some even find it offensive and want us to say happy holidays instead.

This is not about religious beliefs, this is simply a yearning to find peace and solace for at least one day and reflect on this crazy humanity that we are.

I am an old warrior, no one yearn peace more than a soldier because we only do fight so others may live in peace.

So tonight, if you can, surrounded by family and friend, whomever you are, wherever you are in this crazy world of ours, take time to reflect on a possible peace miracle... If you believe...

Sadly after all these years of co-existence on this planet, we have yet to figured out that we are all, not so different than each others and cynically, more wars amongst ourselves has been fought under some religious pretense.

A true God under any name does not condone war under any pretexts.

End of polite Canadian international rant, we now return to normal woodworking in progress.
Well, a Christmas tree is wood, so that count as woodworking right? :-)


Bob, the old Santa

Me arriving as Santa for the kids at the WO & Sgt mess in 2008

In the back the crew is yelling at me: Stand in the door and wave at the kids.

Me: Holding on the door frame for dear life: They cant see me, it's all white :-)

A tad windy too, I recall... Heather lost her mitts taking that picture.

Santa Bob, tested by the "kids" See it's real :-)

Yes, boys and girls, Santa wears Canadian Army boots :-)

And when he enter the Canadian airspace he is protected by the RCAF, 

while the RCN gave him picket coverage has he crossed oceans to get here.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE AND TO ALL PEACE ON EARTH
