A merry christmas to you all, huge xmas lunches, more boxes of booze, family gatherings, safe driving (!), police checkpoints, packed nightclubs, hard to get taxis, long line of shopping, jacked prices, xmas overdosage through the media, well-wishers abound, excited kids underneath the christmas tree, wrapped presents and unwrapped rubbish, eggnog for the traditionalists, christmas cake for the sweet tooth amongst us, mistakes made at the office party, dodging drunkards, bringing out the tunes on the neighbourhood guitar, hugging long-time-no-see overseas relatives, warming up the lovo pit, the whole lot :)
Also, merry christmas John McCain and welcome back to Fiji. For like, the 12th time. O_o

Tis the season to be jolly, full of folly and all things lovo-fied. With one more month left in the year before we hit the reboot button, and with me still in the mood for updating the site, I’ve changed the banner once again. And with the banner change, there’s also a slightly v2.0 alteration to the name of the blog.
Behold I present you with: Paradise Fiji Blog: Abort, Retry Fail?

The slight name change was to be more descriptive to first time visitors, so that coupled with the introductory paragraph at the top, would give them a quick idea of what we’re all about.

A few of you return readers may recognise the cartoon characters drawn on the banner. It was done for the blog around the same time last year by the ever talented Mr Awesome Cake. Mr Awesome Cake was gracious enough to grace us with another original party like its the end of the year drawing. Since good times and clinking cartons are around the corner (or already present for some of you lucky people), this would be a perfect time to get into the festive swing of things.
