To a lot of people, so to my wife and me as well, Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. For us it's great to be together again with our children (in law) and grandchilren, the more so as we don't see them that often as they live pretty far from us. During my active career I couldn't be home every Christmas. Think therefore too my thoughts are with everyone who can't be home or is alone at Christmas.

Hope you'll enjoy this post. Thank you in advance for any comment. Hope to be back soon after Christmas. Hope you all have a good Christmas time, Cornelius.

Looks like you have a lot of containers full of presents to deliver you Seafaring Santa C. Makes me wonder where the ship is headed and what is in all those containers.

Have a safe and great Christmas with your family C.

I really like the scene with the contrasting blues and those ships looking so magnificent.

Good health to you and yours.

† MERRY CHRISTMAS †

A wet duck never flies at night and smells better than a dog of similar wetness. MERRY CHRISTMAS

Very thoughtful of you Cornelius to post this wonderful image especially for the sailors who cannot be home today. The worst Christmas I ever had was 1n 1979 when we were in a severe storm in the Pacific.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

How nice of you to remember those among us who won't be able to be where and with whom they want to be this year. It makes the times when our dreams come true all that much more dear when they happen.

Sounds like you're going to be surrounded by love, Cornelius, and I hope you have a wonderful time.

Happy Holidays.

A beautiful photo, thank you. I'm glad not to be outward bound, or alone at Christmas time. Wishing you, your family, and all those you love the best Christmas ever.

Merry CHRISTmas to you too. When I see your posts of the sea I often think of my husband who loved the sea and his time in the Navy.

Gorgeous capture with such beautiful colours and detail Cornelius. It must be sad to work on a freighter and being away from family at this time of the year.
