Happy New Year!

Just a quick note to say that we are just back from a fantastic 2 weeks holiday (vacation) in Hawaii with my (Victoria's) parents and sister/brother-in-law who live in London (that's England, not Canada). Hopefully we will post a link to some pictures soon (Jac are you uploading to Kodak? If so I will use your link!!) .

We had a very little Santa visit us in Christmas day and he seemed to enjoy wearing his Santa-suit quite a lot and will feature in about 35-40 people's holiday photos and 5-6 Japanese holiday videos as he wore it out to dinner in the evening.

I've been meaning to take photos of people's Christmas decorations (as with the Halloween ones) but I never quite get to it and I just noticed when logging onto Blogger this evening that someone has already collected a few and blogged them - check in here - the majority of these are not the exception, more the norm here in the USA!
