Christmas in Antarctica

In Antarctica Christmas comes a day earlier than in the US. In the lower left of this pictures are carolers. The background is frozen sea ice.

Penguins are just about the favorite animal, and these are in the dining room.

The theme of the day was food, of course. Here we are at brunch. Stockings are in the background. There is a tree, but it missed the picture.


This is a a display of gingerbread houses. Below is a spread of exotic cheeses and lots of other delicacies.



We ate the huge Christmas dinner in "family groups." These are new and wonderful friends. We had prime rib, roast, duck, crab legs, shrimp, all the trimmings, and more desserts than could be counted.

Dear Carol and Pat. Hi and happy holidays! We enjoyed your pictures. Sounds like you are having a good time. What is your daily routine like? How are you coping with the weather? I'm going to Florida in Jan. to escape the Colorado winter which, I'm sure, is nothing compared with what you are experiencing.

Hi Carol and Pat, this is Paula. I had your card with your blog info so here we are. First time we tried, I hadn't signed up, so here goes a second try. It looks like you're having a grand time. Any dancing?

Cheers!
