Wishing you a merry christmas and a happy wonderful new year .
The Christmas season fills our hearts with joy;
Bright, happy days bring special kinds of pleasure.
We're wrapped in the excitement of it all,
The sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes we treasure.
Lissa, Luzie and Dolores playing with the Christmas presents ^_^
The best is of course "Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13"!
You can let Emma drive through the "dangerous" chair tunnel ... ;-)

May 2016 bring you all you wish and more xxx
This photo was taken on Christmas morning in 2018. I got my camera then (Nikon Coolpix B700) and this was the very first photo I took.
"....A photo that got lost on my computer, but has come from beneath the snow drifts!..."
Christmas shopping! >_< Next time I need a jacket!.. Burrrrr
Santa comin' in hot on Christmas Eve in Somewhereville. He's in a hurry to deliver those presents while the kids still have visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads.

Central park Manhattan N/Y and all is very perky........on account of it being very cold.........an Englishman in New York, at Christmas.......very strange and I am at my most reflective!
Fynn inspects the candle arch on the window sill. He seems to be fascinated by the lights and the reflections in the window. This is my first Christmas capture of Fynn. It's probably a bit too dark but I like how the lights illuminate Fynn's silhouette and it's something different compared to the pictures I usually post of my cats,

It is becoming more and more the trend for people in England to decorate their houses with Christmas lights. This one is done every year to raise money for charity.
MERRY CHRISTMAS & SEASON'S GREETINGS! oh and btw, I believe in recycling!!!
The critics were harsh, even with Christmas just days away.
“A Christmas scene with no snow? Why even that fellow from Brazil found snow for his forced perspective, Christmas scene!"
“What kind of shenanigans are those Colorado boys trying to pull now?”
Truth be told, snowfall and Christmas do not often meet in the Mile High City. Now, some of you may be whispering, “Global Warming” yet, this was as true back in 1938 when this photo was taken as it is today. Daytime temperatures on Winter Solstice had been a balmy 60 degrees. That evening brought a full moon rising behind the photographer and only a hint of snow in the forecast for Christmas Day.
Local history and a story in Westword suggest, David Dwight "D.D." Sturgeon, a Denver electrician, dipped lightbulbs in red and green paint, connected them to electrical wire, and hung them in a pine tree outside his sick son David's window to brighten his holiday. People came from miles away to see the illuminated tree.
The country's first outdoor-lighting contest was held in Denver in 1918, attracting hundreds of contestants. A year later, the city electrician, John Malpiede, replaced the lights in Denver Civic Center with colored globes of red and green for the holidays. The following year, he put an illuminated Christmas tree in front of the State Capitol. In 1926, Mayor Ben Stapleton approved $400 to illuminate the front of City Hall, and by the late 1920s, Denver had become known (or was calling itself), the "Christmas Capital of the World.” The tradition was transferred to the new City And County Building after it opened in 1933.
The scene hasn’t changed a lot in the years since. The big trees were taken down a few years ago and all the cars cruising by to see the lights are headed southbound now.
Traffic is a little heavier, with Mom and Pop SUVs driving by slowly pointing a phone or pad at the lights. Commercial vehicles crowd the street with horse drawn carriages, 15 passenger hotel buses, 50 passenger tour buses, 40 foot long Cadillac stretch limos and tiny Tuk Tuk cabs. Drivers drop off patrons and wait while they gawk, take selfies and dodge street vendors waving trinkets with shiny lights that will fade by morning. Small herds of electric scooters vie for control of the sidewalks with pedestrians and bicyclists.
The city uses electricity much more efficiently in the modern display than the 1938 version. Nowadays, it is all done with LED lighting. This also allows the lighting scheme to change every now and then. Sturgeon Electric, the company founded by D D Sturgeon in 1912 is still in business and now works throughout the mountain west.

Sparrows and a pigeon sit by the bird-feeder in wintertime. Snow-covered Christmas trees, decorated with red and blue ornament balls, are located around the bird-feeder. Snowfall. Christmas idyll.

It's Christmas Eve, Eve! Very, very busy day, but it's great fun - I love the Christmasy buzz!
The side roads and villages are the worst they've been all week. Incredibly slippy - they're like ice rinks! GREAT fun if you have skates... :P

I just spend ages trying to get the colors right. Almost made it a b&w, but that just doesn't work out with this particular photo. So this will have to do ;)
Finally decorating the christmas tree! Have a wonderful lazy sunday!

Part of the quite elaborate Christmas display outside CentralwOrld - one of the city's mega shopping plazas.
What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace.

Far from a reindeer but close enough! :0)

Obviously I couldn’t open any gifts until they had been inspected very carefully.
Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating today.
The exterior of an architect’s office is tastefully and discreetly decorated for Christmas and The New Year. The windows’ glasses are spotlessly clean and even Ralph, my fox terrier pet, is reflected in one of them. Can you spot my own (the photographer’s) reflection, too, in the entrance sign?
This was shot during my very first corona walk in 2021. The Happy New Year to all.
