Christmas 2003

The Athomen were one body short this year. Jim was in Oxford with Elizabeth and the Radford Smith clan. Before leaving, Jim and Stephen did send out a "greeting card" to friends far afield.

Festivity started on Christmas Eve when Stephen's work pals came over for a BBQ. Mind you- it was 35 degrees and humid so they spent the time in the airconditioning. They presented Stephen with an embarassing gift- a reminder of Stephen making a fool of himself over a bottle of "Hill of Grace" (so he thought!). See the gift... broadband connection required.

Christmas lunch was spent at the Powell's with the Powell clan and Romeros Clan.

Dinner was at the good Doctors Traynor.
