Yes, I have to - the band I play drums in has a gig on New Year's Eve.

TPBM received one surprise Christmas gift this year which they're really delighted with.

I did! A beautiful cashmere scarf!

TPBM received a Christmas gift that they weren't that excited about.

Unfortunately that would be me. Much as I love to receive a box of chocolates, ending up with 5 boxes of chocolate, as well as a box of Turkish delight, might be just a little too much for anyone to stomach.

TPBM has been ill in Christmasses past.

That would be me. 2 years ago I got a stomach bug on Christmas Day. That was no fun at all!

TPBM will stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve.

That, again, will be me, even if it is only because of the television coverage. Sydney's fireworks, greeting the New Year, is not something to be missed if you ever head Down Under. People even book harbourside places to see the fun. Our iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge is rigged up for the occasion, and there is usually an emblem of some sort in the middle of the Harbour Bridge span, lit up by the fireworks.

One year it was the word, Eternity, as written by Arthur Stace. Arthur Stace, a Sydneysider with a difficult background, converted to Christianity at one of our most humble city churches - St Barnabas' Anglican on Broadway. In yellow chalk, in the most beautiful copperplate writing, he would write the single word, Eternity, on pavements around Sydney, for all to see, including my young self. It would be terrific if he ever knew of Sydney's tribute to him that New Year's Eve.

TPBM is looking forward to an exciting New Year in 2015.

I am! I already have a few exciting things that'll be happening, so I'm definitely awaiting them, though not to come too quickly. Still, I'm always a little nostalgic when a great year must come to an end.

TPBM keeps their Christmas decorations up 'till New Years.

Me!

TPBM has a pet other than a dog or cat.

Yep, a couple of rabbits, horses, and a guinea pig!

TPBM likes to travel.

That's me!! LOVE traveling! Especially if it involves other narniawebbers!

TPBM doodles when they talk on the phone.

Yes indeed, with friends.

TPBM is eager for spring to arrive.

Yes, especially after these winter storms!

TPBM has a sweet tooth.

Oh my. Just a little--well, maybe a little more than that.

TPBM: had a very productive day!

Yes, I actually did, thankfully. I went shopping for some things I needed, went for a walk which I also needed, and I managed to type up and finish writing my lab report.

TPBM has written something for fun in the past month.

Yep, some letters!

TPBM is glad/will be glad for warmer weather.

Yep! The sun was shining today and it was wonderful!

TPBM is wearing socks.
