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
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 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!
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.
