Mea culpa....reindeer on the brain! That half moon belongs to Stuart - who is just ahead of you on the stats sheet....my eyes weren't tracking on the right line....hahaha!

Uff dah. For some reason, I thought this challenge included Christmas Day. I really wanted to get to $12. But, this is so not going to happen, now. Good job, all Lunie Reindeer. A fine Holiday Herd; excellent effort. Merry Merry and Happy Happy.

Yes, Kona that was my first HM since the injury-a very slow one :? I'm making slow, but steady, progress. I think I'm able to move the tip of my little finger a couple of millimeters, although my therapist said she couldn't see it. Talk about a buzz kill :cry:

Happy Christmas from Oz to all the people/ time-zones still celebrating it...
It has been hot and busy here - had a couple of big work days leading up to the big day; then put a magnificent effort in eating my way through the Yuletide feasts yesterday! :oops: :D :oops: (Hence the "penance" half moon rowed today, prior to flying to Sydney to see the kids/ grandkids.)
A great herd of reindeer indeed! Well done everyone!
Back for the start of the team challenge... see you all then! (I may even drop in for a bevvy on NY Eve... who's running the bar this year??)

Cheers,
Dave

About New Year's Eve...Our Traditional Team Forum "Party"

Post by Kona2 » December 26th, 2014, 4:15 pm

Each New Year's eve, the Lunies host a virtual New Year's Eve party in our team forum. We place any drink orders with our virtual bartender, Jane (she says she'll be sending out a message closer to the end of the year...but since Dave H brought up the question of beverages...). It's a time to wish everyone well, and see what they're drinking this year! These virtual drinks range from the non-alcoholic to the very complicated and rare. We hope you'll all stop by!

Dear team Lunies,

Finally time to introduce my son Xander with a nice picture of his first Christmas celebration. Mama and Xander are doing great. He's a nice calm little boy of just 4 weeks old. So be prepared for a new Lunie that will hit the competition in three to four years.
