Christmas 2005 in Lynfield

---

Around the same time of year, we all have Christmas (unless you're Jewish, then you have Hanukah).

No, I'm not racist, some of my best friends are Jewish!

Anyways, this is what I did on Christmas day.

It was great, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't missing various people around the world.

However, I was very much looking forward to having 2 of these special people in my life, my brothers Paul and The Deebo, arrive home from London town a few days later.

And I know you're asking yourself, and yes, The Deebo did invent the drink the 'Deeboa' (feijoa vodka and apple juice).

Mekky Rissmiss from Nathan and his kin.

Then we went out onto the Niagara Crescent and played a bit with Amit's new dog Teddy ... here I think it is safe to assume that Ryan has said something dirty coz everyone is laughing

Deebo = Deeboa ... I don't think so!!!!
One day he'll admit he's not the inventor of a simple drink such as that. Marvelous pics though! Happy Hanukah!!

Pissed off Jew
It's spelled Chunukah!!!! With a C....With a C!!!!!!

[Ray]

The Deeboa is 'Deeboo's Drink'!

Whatever!
Follow the link (http://www.everythingjewish.com/Hanukah/origins.htm) and you'll see I actually did my research. It can be spelt either way.
