One of the best things about living in the southern hemisphere is having a warm, sunny holiday season. Merry Christmas to everyone. I’m going for a swim.

WOW!!!! This is AWESOME!!! I feel the fun and love all across the miles! And I forwarded the link to about a hundred people! I titled it: “Josh will make you smile! :-) ) Thanks for finding such a fun way to make us feel connected. Keep savoring that warm, sunny holiday season! XOXOXOXOXOXOX

WHERE did you get that costume?! And how long have you had this awesome idea??? Which one of Beth’s lucky family got to take the photo? :-)

28 degrees here. Dark. Rained today on top of the snow. Now a shimmery crust out there. Got home a bit ago from Christmas Eve Service. Really nice. Jon got here from work a few minutes after we did. He and Dad are in the living room, talking and drinking some kind of Atwater Winter Break wheat beer . . . or something like that. Dad picked it out. I still have to wrap Dad’s presents. Are we surprised??? ;-) XOXOX

Hi Josh, Merry Christmas to you and Beth, too!!!!! We are getting ready to go to bed on Christmas Eve and I see that it is 3:00 PM your time.

Hi guys. Beth got me the santa suit a few weeks ago at a local variety store where they sell a bunch of cheap junk. It was $8 :) . I didn’t have the idea to take a photo on the beach until this morning, then we went out and Beth and her mom took pictures. There was also a large group of asian tourists taking photos of me :) haha.

Merry Christmas Josh and Beth! It is now officially Christmas in both Michigan and Australia. I hope that you enjoyed your swim Santa Josh. Love and miss you both!

Josh Kringle,
Merry christmas. I see your mom is so wasted she doesn’t even know what she’s drinking.

Was delighted to open up my mail this Christmas morning to see your picture – thanks to you and your mom for making me smile. It worked! Hope you have a great Christmas Josh.

What fun! Thanks for greeting us this way!!!!!!!!!! I’m glad Beth and her mom were in on this greeting, too. All is quiet here at 11:00. Louise, Abby and I just finished watching the movie Mamma Mia. Hal and Bill are talking. Everyone else is asleep. The high in Perry is supposed to be 50 today. What did I say! Just wait a few days….CHANGE!

Merry Christmas, with Love, Clara (and Hal)

I see you must have gone back and allowed entry to a few new people. Great! Fun to read the “new” comments!

Hahaha, Mr. Smith! Great line! Fun to see you and the Mrs. **twice**–at Barnes & Noble and at Chili’s. Fun to live in a vaguely similar vicinity that makes for bumping into you two.

And Rick, what mom doesn’t love to see a comment like yours? :-) Fun thinking of you smiling at Josh on Christmas morning. XOXOX Thanks for letting us all in on it. :-)
