A Merry Christmas to all on board, from the Captain and crew , to all aboard. Best wishes for the New year as well.

A thank you from me to each of you for work done and for your company on the voyage.

And a very Merry Christmas already here to all my Antipodean friends. May the blessing of the Prince of Peace be with you all.

And also an early Merry Christmas to my friends in other time zones. May He bless you all.

Right. Presents are packed, the house is (relatively) clean and tidy, I've recited 'The Night Before Christmas' to Hugal (my mum read it to me every Christmas Eve, and I've kept up the tradition, except these days I can do it from memory).

So all that remains is to wish Shipmates a happy Christmas filled with joy, peace, hope and love.

And chocolate. Don't forget chocolate.

As I prepare to go out to the Midnight Service, tiptoeing out of a sleeping household and then returning tomorrow (hee hee) to play Santa before snuggling into my duvet on the sofa surrounded by cards and presents and the few decorations we managed to get up, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish EVERYONE and all your loved ones a peaceful, joyful and decidedly delightful Christmas.
