The best of the holidays is the colours of sparkly lights and my favourite goblet, but most of all sharing the time with loved ones. Happy Macro Monday!

My favourite part of the Christmas season is Niqui's homemade mince pies. Homemade pastry, homemade mincemeat, what more could you want!?!

...he has come down from the attic to make an appearance for christmas.

 

MacroMondays theme is “Best with Holidays is…”

 

I think the best thing for me is the real feeling of connectedness with the past whilst accepting and even embracing the big changes that happen from one year to the next. But to feel this properly we also need constancy- small things that just stay the same from one year that we can notice, value and enjoy.

 

...but mostly I am a just a bit of a Christmas grump!

Macro Mondays - Best with Holidays is...

 

The holidays are leisure time, to be with the family, with friends, to dedicate to what one likes most ... but the principle of the holidays and what I like most about them are to be able to silence the alarm clock, stop time, make the hours go by at my pace and not be subject to the clock ...

Time is dead! Long live Vacation Time!

 

La vacaciones son tiempo de ocio, para estar con la familia, con los amigos, para dedicar a lo que uno más le gusta... pero el principio de las vacaciones y lo que más me gusta de ellas son poder silenciar el despertador, detener el tiempo, hacer que las horas transcurran a mi ritmo y no estar sujeto al reloj...

¡El Tiempo ha muerto! ¡Viva el Tiempo de las Vacaciones!

Our family Christmas dinner ends with a slice of chocolate log. This year it's decorated with giant mushrooms and tiny trees.

HMM, happy holidays and Merry Christmas everybody ! ❤️

“Macro Mondays” “Best with Holidays is…”

 

Best with Holidays is... Christmas Cookies, I bake and give them as gifts. My daughter baked the shortbread with the cherry on top and I baked the rest.

This is a multi exposure from three images to get the proper DoF. As you might expect "Frohes Fest" means "Merry Christmas!"

The tangled mess that comes from just stuffing the lights into a box. The next year you get the joy of checking that all the lights still work and untangling the string.

 

The image is about 7 cm (2.75 inches) square.

Redux 2019 for MacroMondays: Best with holidays is

For “Macro Mondays” theme of “Best with Holidays is…”.

 

Small children and some adults too will always find little things on the beach that they consider treasures and just must bring home with them from their holidays. Two very diverse items here both from over 40 years ago. The very worn piece of wood was scavenged from a Welsh beach while the delightful shell M picked up from one in Australia. Two treasures now united on a piece of glass paper that I took from my workshop.

 

Lit with a single lamp, slightly diffused with a piece of tissue paper and some fill-in lighting from the room lights.

 

Nothing complicated - trying to keep it simple!

Between the rain and wind, we had a brief stint where the temps were cold enough and wet enough to give us a dusting of snow. It added to the holiday feel of the lights on the deck. The holidays are always better with snow!

I don't particularly like the Holiday season very much but what I do like in this time of year are the numerous lights in the house, giving it a festive atmosphere.

This year we took out the collection of miniature mangers with nativity scenes. This particular one is app. 5 cm high and wide, the scene is carved and sandblasted in glass.

The picture was taken for Macro Mondays' theme "Best with Holidays is ..." In my case it is lights!

Les vacances de Noël sont bien présentes. Les ornements et décorations des sapins et des maisons battent leur plein avec les paquets posés au pied du sapin ou dans une grande hotte du Père Noël. Le meilleur arrive et la joie se voit dans les visages de petits et des grands qui attendent leurs cadeaux. #Macro #MacroMondays #BestWithHolidaysIs..

In the weeks before christmas, we always have candles burning at home.

 

Contribution for Macro Monday theme "Best with holidays is"

Dieses Thema hat mir erst einmal Kopfzerbrechen bereitet. Das Beste an Feiertagen ist für mich, dass ich morgens etwas länger im Bett liegen und den Tag geruhsam verbringen kann. Aber wie lässt sich so etwas in Macro umsetzen? Und dann fiel mir der Filmsong "Lazy" von Marilyn Monroe ein, den ich auf einer alten LP habe. Dazu eine sich wohlig streckende kleine Katzenfigur (ein Hoch auf die Sammelleidenschaft!) und ich hatte mein Motiv für "Macro Mondays".

 

Ich wünsche euch allen einen "Happy Macro Monday" und entspannte Weihnachtsfeiertage.

 

This topic gave me a headache at first. The best thing about holidays for me is that I can stay in bed a little bit longer in the morning and spend the day more relaxing. But how can something like this be implemented in Macro? And then I thought of the movie song "Lazy" by Marilyn Monroe, which I have on an old LP. In addition, a comfortably stretching little cat figure (cheers for collecting!) And I had my motive for "Macro Mondays".

 

I wish you all a "Happy Macro Monday" and a relaxed Christmas holiday.

  

Back in the day, before retirement, one of the best things about holidays was the time off work without using up my annual leave. 4:41 p.m. meant 19 minutes to quitting time, and for many years it also meant I had the next 10 days or so off work. HMM and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Looks like my old fly reel needs a clean!

 

Reel is 4" diameter so, just over 2"/50mm seen here.
