Downtown Raleigh. It's "boil your flesh off" steamy hot outside right now so I thought I'd look back at what I shot in December! I love how Fayetteville St. comes alive downtown with all the lights and buzzing activity.

Christmas morning Breakfast Waffle Stout
"Amundsen Christmas Morning Breakfast Waffle Stout, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Small off-white to beige head. Aroma of lightly roasted malts, blueberry jam and waffles. Flavour with the same elements as the aroma, not too sweet" A real STOUT should be more heavy, this is waterly. Not THE BEST Christmas-beer. .
We often like to have a tree in our dining room, but as there isn't much room we usually choose our slim tree.
I really like this view from the kitchen, with the reflection of the lights on the TV screen. This room has a multicoloured look, but leaning towards purples, turquoises, yellows, etc.
Tinka - a 10 months old clever and cute Border Collie that I got to cuddle and play with two days ago. She's owned my boyfriend's cousin.
Now we've just come home from a nice Christmas Eve celebration at my sister in law's place - with lots of presents and good food.

An eye-catching holiday light display was installed at the entrance of the river boardwalk in Steveston, Richmond BC. Many people stopped and took photos of it. A family with kid passed by, the kid was very curious and interested so the family spent quite a bit of time there. This photo was taken when they were leaving, To the kid, I was thinking this must be one of his favorite memories of Christmas :)

So you think your Christmas Eve is stressful? Spare a thought for our mate Nick. While you’re wrestling with tangled fairy lights, he’s got to visit every nice child in the world, steer a sleigh pulled by reindeer with attitude, and deal with elves who’d rather test the toys than pack them. And then there’s Martha — Mrs. Claus—who’s as caring as she is relentless with her annual lecture.
“Don’t sleigh over the speed limit, Nick! Remember what happened in 2015?” “Wear your gloves this time—you’re not frostbite-proof!”
“For goodness' sake, watch out for Elon's Starlink satellites. You’re not dodging one again this year!” “You don’t need to drink every beer someone leaves out! And maybe skip a few chocolates—remember what the doctor said about your waistline? Chimneys aren’t exactly getting bigger, you know.”
“And that beard! If it catches fire in a chimney, don’t come crying to me!” “Oh, and Nick... there’s no shame in using GPS. Last year’s Paris debacle was not a good look.”
Do you have any Christmas traditions? In our house, we’re Lego nerds through and through. Every year on December 1st, we kick off our annual assembly of the four Christmas-themed Lego sets we own—each boasting over 1,000 pieces. It’s a group effort, with whoever happens to be around joining in, fueled by a glass of red wine, Spotify Christmas carols, and a spirited debate over the best way to sort the pieces. (I’m firmly in the “sort by style, not color” camp by the way)
Of course, there’s the inevitable moments “There’s no red piece that’s a double with four blocks and a slant on one side!” Yet somehow, my wife always finds it — usually in a spot I *just checked*. I’m convinced she hides them for fun.
After a week of meticulous building, we finally finish one set... only to discover an alarming number of leftover pieces. Why do I have five green tree branch when I desperately need an orange Christmas light? By that point, it doesn’t really matter though.
Then there’s our grandson. When he arrives, the intricate builds we’ve painstakingly constructed are gleefully demolished in search of *that one perfect block* he absolutely must have. That’s the best part of it all — the chaos, the laughter, the tradition. It’s not about getting it to look like the picture on the box (it never does anyway). It’s about the journey, the memories, and the fun of doing it together.
Wishing you a merry Christmas, I hope you enjoy whatever you are up to !
ca. 1961 --- Festive Hairdos for Christmas. These hairdos are done with real hair, decorated with Christmas tinsel and ornaments. Each of the girls has 42 inch hair that has never been cut. Hair is wound around florist's "topiary tree" (this is a straw pyramid used to train vines into ornamental shapes) not chicken wire, which is normally used in such concoctions. Hair must be thick and heavy in order to lend itself to winding around the wicker canes. Giselle Roc is the girl whose hair is decorated with Christmas balls. The little boy is Jimmy Lein, 11 years old.

Sorry it took me until after x-mas to upload this. I've just been so dreadfully busy, but I hope you can still enjoy them! :)
A Christmas decoration in my living room, I took this one with my 50-200 mm DX lens so my camera wouldn't fill up the whole reflection
I haven't been out for photos since my hip replacement surgery early this month, but I wanted to stop by to wish a warm holiday season to all, and a very Merry Christmas to those who are celebrating this week. This shot was taken a couple of years ago in the historic village of Long Grove, Illinois.
I am definitely on the mend following the surgery. I'm walking well without a cane now, and continuing my post operative exercises in a vigorous fashion. I'll likely be off and on Flickr for a while yet during the holiday season, but I'm planning to be back on a more routine basis again soon.
