Since I didn't get many Christmas cards out this year...I'd like to do a thread card exchange... To- Gatchamanics... Merry Christmas, i hope its a good one full of laughter and rich food, friends and family, warmth and cheer! Love from Ebonyswanne.

Merry Christmas everyone. Or Happy Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, what ever it is you celebrate. Enjoy your time with friends and family and I hope you get everything you wish for.

Ebony, this is a wonderful idea. Merry Christmas to all. Spend the time with family and friends and remember why we're celebrating it.

Mewwy Kwissmass!

Merry Christmas to all here and the very best of New Years to all here too.

Merry Christmas - or your chosen Holiday. I hope your wishes come true in the upcoming year

I would like to join in this thread and wish you all (and your families) a very Happy Christmas and a prosperous upcoming New Year again! Apart from the materialistic aspect that sometimes is attached to this season, let's try to think for a moment about the real meaning of these celebrations and hope that all the people in the world could have the same opportunity to celebrate it the way that we do. to war, poverty, illness, etc.

Great idea Ebony Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone! Europe is covered in snow, and who knows, it might be a White Christmas this time, if the weather doesn't change to warmer.

Hurray for a White Christmas!!! I keep my fingers crossed for one here where I am.

Wishing all wonderful Gatchamaniacs out there a safe and merry Gatchmas and a Gatchy New Year!

Merry Christmas everyone! And best wishes for the new year.

Thanks so much for starting this thread! I am feeling guilty for not sending out cards once again this year! Happy Holidays, everyone!!

Happy holidays to all and may your 2010 be better than ever!

It's now Christmas Day here in Australia. Officially MERRY CHRISTMAS time!

Merry Christmas to you all and have a wonderful new year!

Merry Christmas to those who have already arrived. Happy Christmas Eve to those who are still waiting for Santa to arrive. Springie I love that Image. So fitting for this snow you seem to be having in the NW. States.

Merry Christmas

Itis Christmas day late in the afternoon in Singleton Australia NSW where I'm enjoying Christmas at the moment....after lots of food and over excited kids from 6am opening presents and trying to figure out which toy to play with first...and then there's Christmas lunch (Salads and ham.) On a very hot day followed by a sprinkle of rain an hour ago to cool things off a bit....Right now I'm ready to give up food for the rest of the day! LOL!!! (We had a beauty of a hail storm/wind/heavy rain a few days ago!! The wind was like a mini tornado out at my in-laws farm, and thats not exagerating. The wind was mesured to be of that strenght.I took off rooves in town and stipped tree's bare because of hailstones the size of golf balls and bigger, we found some more injured wildlife today, and called the animal rescue to help them out... ) I hope you all are having a wonderful time today!!!

It's 9am Christmas Morning here in the states. We have about half a foot of snow here in Stroud, Merry Christmas everyone! I hope your Christmas is a good one!

My Christmas Day in Indiana is very rainy, but I'm having a good day. Some places are being slammed with snow so that no one can travel, but I'm planning to go to my sister's house later today -a 6 hour drive, but I do have some new CDs to listen to, that I received as gifts this morning. Merry Christmas, everyone!

We are getting rain from that storm instead of snow, and are hoping it does not turn to freezing rain like it did a few years ago during the "Big" ice storm.

We had some rain later in the afternoon on Christmas day, it was welcomed with open arms and a few cheers from the locals in the town.(Santa bought them rain, instead of hail.) Where I'm from as its been hot and dry up there in the bush, with extreme bushfire warnings leading up to Christmas day. The cool change is wondeful. Light misty rain soaking into the rock hard ground, moistening the soil and green up the place with fresh grass and leaves on the trees, way better than tinder dry bushland waiting to for a hot day to send off sparks and breath fire..... Its Boxing Day here now! An old tradition of chilling out the next day. (People used to give boxes, or gifts to the mailman or milk delivery persons etc on the day after Christmas...hence...Boxing Day.) Its a public Holiday too. I'm glad to hear you're all having a wonderful time!

It's now 12.30pm here, in Malta, and everyone seems enjoying a bit of rest on a Boxing Day which this year arrived on a Saturday! It's a tradition of eating a lot during Christmas Day and the next day everyone feels a lot heavier and sluggish! We spent Christmas Day at my brother's this year (we alternate dinners yearly!) and I couldn't help leaving a lot of food in my plates as his wife thinks a lot bigger than is supposed when dealing with food! I only missed mum a lot, as I miss her all the year through, especially on Christmas when it is supposed to be her birthday! Memories of her roasting the Christmas turkey and preparing everything in detail in order to reunite the family under one roof keep returning to my mind every single moment during such celebrations! I'm glad I have such wonderful memories of her and I'll cherish them as long as I live, hoping that I, myself, could mean the same for my kids! Tonight, we're invited to another dinner (my DH's cousin is celebrating her lucky birthday!)! I don't know how I'm going to stuff myself more with food but I'll do my best! Glad to hear that everyone has had a lovely Christmas and I send more wishes for a prosperous, new year which is just behind the door!

Merry Happy Holidays, Everyone! I hope you've all had a safe and happy holiday season and best wishes for the coming New Year!

Wishing everyone in Gatchamania a very wonderful Christmas and may the spirit of Christmas bring you and your family peace, hope, love, and happiness. I am still waiting for the Santa Ninja Team to go down my chimney and bring me my Christmas presents, .

Saturn, I love your avatar! Guess it's of before Ken realised "Bird Go!" would work faster with no chance we would see his briefs?

Saturn thanks for sharing the piccies!

Great avatar, Saturn, and thanks for the pics!

Great pics and avatar, Saturn! Is anyone able to translate them??

The avatar is Ken saying basically "Oi! What the Heck are you looking at??" The two picture spread is Jinpei wondering what he's getting from Santa. Can't quite work out the second one, but it's not pleasant by his reaction lol.
