This is a great time of year to show a little appreciation. I have in my head that children’s Christmas carol that goes… ‘There isn’t any room, there isn’t any room, there isn’t any room for strangers’. I like to think that there’s a little space for ‘strangers’ on this blog. Some of them have turned into the most wonderful friends!
I started out with such a great idea! I wanted to create a Christmas tree out of ‘baubles’. Each of those baubles would represent a special blogging friend. Sadly the reality hasn’t quite lived up to my expectations. My ‘baubles’ have kind of fallen off the tree! Ah, me and technology! A fatal combination. Never mind! I’m glad it’s the thought that counts.
If you click on a photo it will take you to a person who brings me joy. I don’t have space on my ‘tree’ for everybody. What a tree that would be! Please be sure there are many more of you who brighten my life, and I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone. This is a very special world we bloggers have, isn’t it, where strangers can become friends? Sending you all Christmas hugs!
I’m linking this to Kan’s Joy is… This week Yvette has posted a very thoughtful Christmas message. (she’s the little white rocking horse!) It’s just how Christmas should be.
Wishing you peace and joy this Christmas! I hope the New Year smiles on you. A very Merry Christmas, one and all!

What a kind and generous spirit you have, Jo! I thought the idea of using ornaments as virtual Christmas cards was brilliant…and loved that you chose the red slipper for Madhu. Perfect! 🙂

I needed a bigger and much less lop-sided tree to fit everyone on, Elisa! Maybe you’d like a zingy yellow bauble? You choose! 🙂

Not a male ‘bauble’ in sight, Rommel! How about an electric blue for you? Have a good one, whatever colour you choose to paint the town 🙂 🙂

Jo, what a fantastic idea … with the ornaments!! Amazing job and you’re truly creative. Not only beautiful to soul and heart … and looks. Don’t know what to say … what a honor to be the top angle. Now my heart is going all fuzzy. I would be delighted just laying under your tree. You’re a star in more than one way.

The ornaments sent off to different posts is a fantastic idea! Anyone should appreciate the effort and not all can ever be included in awards or special recognition posts. After all we have 100’s of friends… smiles!
