Beautiful December
Now, when the garden awaits the return of spring
Now, when the silence is deep and blue
Now, when the winter has cast her spell again
Beautiful December, Beautiful December
Here, where the snow is as soft as a woolly lamb
Here, where the nightfall is deep and blue,
Here, where the stars are so bright, you reach for them
Beautiful December, Beautiful December
Child, may you sleep in gentle peace tonight
Dream of songs that rise on silken wings!
When you wake, enchanted by the snowspun light
Sing the songs that came to you in dreams,
Your beautiful December dreams

Budget airlines - horror stories?
Do you fly? Do you use any of the budget airlines?
Apart from price, they often have drawbacks however. When you add up all the extras, they are not always as cheap as they would like to appear. I often flew with British Airways during the summer, as they were cheaper than their budget airline competitors and did not have all the annoying rules and inconveniences.
The latest news is that Ryanair has changed its rules yet again, so you can only bring in the cabin a very small bag, that has to fit under the seat in front. Otherwise you can pay extra for a cabin bag, which costs more too, if you forget to do this at the point of booking.
What are the budget airlines like in your country?

The last flight nightmare was when someone smelled something a bit suspicious in the hold and so they had to unload all the baggage to inspect where the smell was coming from. They then called some passengers to go and identify their bags. I think it might have been some nail varnish, but the acetone smell could have signified something more sinister. We never learned who the culprit was, but it delayed the plane for 90 minutes. And to be honest, wasn't easyjet's fault at all.
Once in Warsaw on arriving to the international airport just after New Year's Day I was informed that an airline I was supposed to fly with had gone bust. Ironically, it wasn't a budget airline. So, you never know.

@GemmaRowlands nothing would induce me to climb Everest. Even trekking to base camp is a bit disappointing as the views are not not that good. The scenery in the Annapurnas is much more beautiful.
