Presents 'Neath the Tree
I am one of those people who really enjoy Christmas. I enjoy it for many reasons, not least of all because I get to give gifts I have gathered throughout the year to my family and friends.
In the lead up to Christmas, my dining room becomes a wonderland of Christmas wrapping and trimmings which I joking call the Christmas Wrapping Bureau, as I usually end up wrapping all my partner's presents as well as my own. However another reason I like Christmas is that I love wrapping gifts, playing with ribbons and bright paper. I think I have even managed to impress my Royal Doulton "We Wish you a Merry Christmas" porcelain decoration as she looks over my handiwork for this year!
Funnily enough, the day before the theme of "wrapped gifts" for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 23rd of December was announced, I had just finished all my Christmas wrapping, making it perfect for me to photograph. I was inspired by my friend Red Stilletto (www.flickr.com/photos/thevixen/) to apply a white border to this photo. It is her signature style which she uses to great effect. Thank you for inspiring me. It therefore seems apt that these are her gifts in the photo, all of which I gave to her when we saw one another on Tuesday! I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
As this is the last “Looking Close… on Friday” before Christmas, I should just like to take this opportunity to wish everyone in the group a very happy Festive Season. May it be filled with happiness and joy for you all.
