Give Us This Day Our Daily Thread December 1st through December 31st 2025

[iamshadow21]

My partner has a longer than 24hours sleep cycle, so we tend to 'spin around'. Also, neither of us deal well with the heat, so we both end up semi nocturnal during summer. I actually take vitamin D despite living in Australia because I go outside at this time of year so little.

So, never try and figure out what Australian daytime is from my posts, because my sleep wake pattern is a moving target.

GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY THREAD
MONDAY DECEMBER 22ND 2025
​

Good Monday morning my darlings. I hope you have a fantastic day today. Love all your posts. Keep them coming please.

On This Day in History – December 22

A little history, a little chaos, and a reminder that the world has always been weird…


1989 – A dictator’s rule collapses (on live TV!)
On this day, Romania’s longtime communist leader Nicolae Ceaușescu fled the capital after massive protests. Within days, his regime was over. It was one of the most dramatic endings to a dictatorship in modern history—and much of it unfolded on television. History with popcorn-level drama.


1968 – Humans head for the Moon
The astronauts of Apollo 8 were already on their way to the Moon today, preparing to become the first humans to orbit it just days later. Imagine casually floating through space right before Christmas. No big deal.


1894 – France convicts the wrong man
French army officer Alfred Dreyfus was wrongly convicted of treason on this date, launching one of the most infamous miscarriages of justice in history. It took years for the truth to come out—proof that bad investigations and tunnel vision are nothing new.

22 December

is the first day of Calendar Winter.

Astronomical winter,
i.e. the winter solstice, falls on different days, most often on December 21.

Also...
Beata celebrates her Name Day

This name is very popular female name in Poland.
It comes from the Latin beatus
meaning blessed, bringing happiness

Waiting and singing...

"Shepherds came running to Bethlehem
Playing the lire for the Infant
Glory in the Highest!!!
Glory in the Highest!!!
And Peace on Earth!"

I love the Apollo 8 Christmas message. I'm not a bible reader but it's so moving in the context of where they were and what they were looking at. A truly unique moment.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Someone just walked past singing very loudly what I think was an out of tune and wobbly Christmas carol.

Made me smile.

If it was "perfectly" sung it wouldn't have filled me with happiness the way it did.


I live not far from a club and a pub so maybe someone going home the safe way, ie not driving.

I had UG boots, but a lot later, when they became popular here in the early 90s.
I still have two new pairs of them that I never wore.

I got tired of trudging around like a Yeti

1976 called and wants us all to come back.

 

[TootsieFootsie]

Oh I see they are different to our UG boots that are made of sheepskin.

Wildly different!
Many split seams, plastic type cheap materials
The creative duct tape fixes always amusing

Uggs are very popular especially among younger women & teens paying $150 a pair for the slippers
