Christmas joy to each and All
Reflecting on Christmas!
So many beautiful decorations in the shops
And a few on my tree.
It’s a time for going “large”
And for sparkling for all you’re worth!
Wherever you spend it, and whoever you spend it with, I hope that you have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas. I will be cooking, but only for me, Michael, Dad and James, so nothing too hectic. I’m looking forward to relaxing afterwards.
I’ve been in festive mode lately, with my Ice Sculptures and Christmas Trees. I hope you’ve enjoyed spending the time with me as much as I’ve enjoyed the sharing.
Let the New Year be kind to all of us. God bless!
Merry Christmas to Cate at Show My Face, and humble apologies for my 60+ words. As usual, follow the link or click on the header to join in.
