Merry Christmas to everyoneWe are all here in this Forum space because of @ivar - and yes, even though many of us support him, he founded this whole virtual albergue and makes it 'go' day to day. Then the Forum 'hospis' do all sorts of things in addition to whatever Ivar does: the moderators voluntarily put in hours of their own time keeping the place neat and tidy and harmonious. It cannot be a small task to herd us cats!
And then there are the forum members in Santiago and along the way who offer welcome and information and essential help 'on the ground' in case of trouble... @Albertinho , @bigskymind , @JohnnieWalker , @natefaith , @Rebekah Scott , @SYates , and @wisepilgrim come to mind but I am positive that I am missing many so others feel free to chime in...
Not to mention all of us here, friends and fellow travelers of the way.
This is the time of year to light candles and welcome the light - and it's so natural to feel grateful well-wishing to all those who bring light to this world! So heartfelt thanks to every single one of you.
A joyous Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all! May you and your loved ones be well, very happy, and safe this holiday season. And may all of you living and serving along the Camino and in Santiago have a bit of a respite in this slower time of year...because we out here are all planning next year's invasion.
Here Here! @VNwalking Cheers and Amen! Happy Holidays to all and to all a Buen Camino! Special mentions to @ivar, his staff,all the moderators and everyone who helped me planed and shared in my first camino this year. I would like to also send an extra special shout out to my fellow veteran/medic @davebugg I hope the new year brings you peace,love and joy ...don’t let the haters get the better of you. I don’t know you personally but thru this forum you have touch my life as well as so many others and that says something I think.We are all here in this Forum space because of @ivar - and yes, even though many of us support him, he founded this whole virtual albergue and makes it 'go' day to day.

Many thanks for this reminder of all those, Ivar and all, who keep us pilgrims lifted up as we walk our paths throughout Spain and the world! I hold all of you in complete gratitude and love and send light out to all who hold this time of the year as sacred and holy, in any shape or form.We are all here in this Forum space because of @ivar - and yes, even though many of us support him, he founded this whole virtual albergue and makes it 'go' day to day.

Let it snow let it snow let it snow...(Should I turn on the snow on the forum, is it too early?)
Go for the snow!Happy holidays everyone!

Now, this is truly a gift beyond expectations¡ I will connect the laptop to the tv as soon as I can arrange for the time it needs, and sit back and get lost for 2 and a half hours. I hope the snow stays off for the performance!Thank you! For me it's a beautiful blast from the far past, having sung the Praetorius as a student...
In the same vein...
I haven't listened to it, but this rendition of the Messiah comes very well recommended as being genuine and 'not your grandmother's Messiah.'

Awwww, that's so thoughtful of you, @ivar.Snow only on computers (no mobiles). It uses a tad more computer power (to show the snow) on the user end, so I did not want to spend more battery for mobile users...
You lift my spirit as always @VNwalking and I needed it today. Feet up...ice and stretch often (10xperdayAnd here's some music for nochebuena - especially for you @JohnnieWalker because that's one amazing organist:
Aaah thanks, would not do much good to sulk. you guys are the best. I’m trying for a few days completely off my feet ...just the ice and stretching. Doctors orders. But he said after Christmas I can try the elliptical, bike or water exercises.... a little at the time until Feb.Oh, @Iriebabel , what a bummer. I am so sorry, but hope the guy in the ER is right.
Regardless, your camino has begin - and what a great attitude in spite of what must be a lot of disappointment. If you need to vent or to have shoulders to cry on, this whole Forum albergue is here.
You'll get plenty of unsolicited advice too.
Have a look in at the not serious thread to cheer you up while you are waiting for better weather, metaphorically speaking. i too have had some problems with mobility, and the end lesson is: it will happen, it will sort itself. I wish patience for you. Is that ok for now? Hope so!Aaah thanks, would not do much good to sulk. you guys are the best.

Fun fact I saw a new story on the camino on NBC news USA this morning https://www.today.com/video/inside-...image-to-santiago-de-compostela-1406920771984
