Merry Christmas to all from the Seacoast Artillery crew.
Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!

Merry Christmas to the best group of artillerymen and women I have ever met. And if you got a new canon for Christmas I'm jealous.  ;D

Christ is Born!
Glorify Him!

Merry Christmas to all.

And now, a bowl of "Smoking Bishop" (as mentioned in Dickens)

Quote
    Take six Seville oranges and bake them in a moderate oven until pale brown. If you cannot procure any bitter Seville oranges, use four regular oranges and one large grapefruit.
    Prick each of the oranges with five whole cloves, put them into a warmed ceramic or glass vessel with one-quarter pound of sugar and a bottle of red wine, cover the vessel, and leave it in a warm place for 24 hours.
    Take the oranges out of the mixture, cut in half and squeeze the juice, then pour the juice back into the wine.
    Pour the mixture into a saucepan through a sieve, add a bottle of port, heat (without boiling), and serve in warmed glasses.
    Drink the mixture, and keep Christmas well!

Just might be better than Artillery Punch.
Your ob't & etc,

Merry Christmas brothers & sisters.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

A belated Merry Christmas everyone !
