Christmas Eve Fireworks are as regular an event as we we can make them. Some years they are more extensive than others, but we generally manage at least a quick round of fire & sparks.

Our Christmas Tree. There are decorations that go on the tree year after year & some new ones each year.
I never fully appreciate the tree until I spend some time up close and take in the little hidden places between the branches.

We celebrated Christmas 1956 at my maternal uncle's house in Archer City, Texas.
That Christmas, I got my first bike. Here I am riding it. My maternal grandfather took this picture. I thought it was interesting that he took it looking through a bicycle wheel.
New Christmas Livery Virgin train No. 91128 (Claus 91) is seen heading past Spittal at Berwick-Upon-Tweed
Working the 1S10 King's Cross - Edinburgh Waverly service.
The new livery came about when Virgin ran a nationwide competition in which school children got the chance to design a Christmas theme livery Train.
Virgin trains had such a huge response and two winners were picked Madeleine Deakin aged 11. with her Christmas theme train called Claus 91 which runs on the East Coast Main Line .
The other is Pendolino Train which is called Penguilino and was designed by Amber Maxfield aged 9 and runs on the West Coast Main Line.
"Running from 20 November - 4 January, Edinburgh’s Christmas offers no shortage of things to see and do this winter. Enjoy panoramic views of the capital from the top of the Big Wheel, spin around on the charming carousel in East Princes Street Gardens or brave a twirl on the 60-metre-high Star Flyer, in St Andrew Square."
Traditionally Christmas eve and Christmas day feasts are pretty similiar really. On christmas eve we have smoked glazed pork loin on the bone and on christmas day we have smoked lamb with bechamel sauce. With sides like green peas, braised red cabbage and picked beetroot and waldorf salad is also pretty standard now thought I think I first tasted it in my twenties. Both delicious meals but makes your pretty bloated over the holidays :'D Washed down with appelsín and malt of course (I usually skip the malt myself since I don't like the taste).
The Christmas decorations are largely understated this year but hopefully they still look pretty. This is a plain white twig Christmas tree with built-in white lights and pale green baubles. Along the mantelpiece we have a green garland with warm white lights in. You can see our white fox ornament too.
Have fun this Christmas, enjoy yourself and share your fun with others!
Although it's not quite Christmas, may as well do this now, Happy Christmas! :)

A Christmas "Downsizing" special without any of the little people. The dinghy is parked up for the winter and the sea is calm, bringing to mind the song "Dignity" by Deacon Blue.

Christmas decoration and atmosphere is everywhere now in Adelaide...Is it really too early? no other countries have christmas things out yet?
What started out as a lackluster Christmas for me became a very blessed one. We hear lots of Christmas stories over the years, some good, some bad, and I'd like to share mine.
Last year, I adopted two adorable kittens, Ragnar and Freja. At a year and a half, they are still pretty raucous, so I opted not to put up my big tree, with all the special ornaments that I've collected over the years. My fear was that they would climb it, and destroy hundreds of dollars worth of irreplaceable items and memories in the process, as kitties are prone to do in their youth. So, I sent my brother, Shawn, to pick up a little table top tree and a few ornaments instead, so we could have something Christmasy, and wouldn't care if the cats demolished it!
What I had in mind was a 3-4 foot tree, that sitting on a table might look almost as big at eye level as a regular tree, and give us more of a Christmas feel. Well, Shawn grabbed a little tree that said it was 36" high, and some ornaments that were more regular size, and a tree topper that was really designed for a 5 foot tree. I knew when I saw the boxes that this was going to be a challenge, but didn't realize how much of one until the day I went to set everything up!
Okay, I started to open the top of the box the tree was in, when the BOTTOM of the box came open, and this 2 1/2 foot long, black, slug-like thing came sliding out and plopped on the floor! I took one look at that thing and almost began cursing my brother! I picked up the stuck together wad of blackness, and nearly cried! Pulling it's stand out of the box, I read the box, too, and yes. It said "black christmas tree". I thought to myself, "WHY on earth would anyone want a BLACK Christmas tree!?" I almost cried at the prospect of this sorry Christmas, and thought maybe it wasn't too late to just put up the regular tree and take my chances! I knew, though, that this wasn't a good idea, at least not THIS year, and so I started assembling the mini tree.
Well, the tree ended up being about 35" tall in the stand, but was still pretty dinky looking. The ornaments were really too large for it, but I put them on there anyway. Okay, I looked at the tree top and thought, this just isn't going to work! I tried, anyway, but it was hopeless. The giant star was too heavy and big, and flopped right over. On top of that, the cord to plug it in was only about a foot and a half long, and there was no way for me to plug it in anywhere!
The next day, I stopped by a Dollar General and grabbed some tiny Christmas ornaments and a small star that would at least stay put on the top of the tree and sort of look like a topper! Once everything was on there and it was plugged in with the fiber optics glowing, it didn't look bad. The black still bugged me some, but it's okay at night. You can at least imagine it's a dark green! With packages around it, it didn't look completely stupid, and felt a little festive, although certainly one of the least attractive trees I'd ever had!
My family celebrates on Christmas Eve. We like to open presents by the light of the Christmas tree. Seemed like almost a joke this Christmas! Having been sick with a respiratory bug for a couple of weeks, I would get winded when I did much of anything, too, so I barely dusted and did a little vacuuming for the holidays. My brother was supposed to mop the floors, but he had work, and then he was the one who did the cooking- his "famous" open faced, Reuben sandwiches, which took hours of prep work, so when I got off work and came home and found the floors dirty, I was ticked about that, too.
Two of my nephews walked in the door with my brother, and suddenly none of it mattered. We spent the afternoon and early evening chatting, running to the grocery store for corned beef, and enjoying each other's company. When the third nephew got off work and came over, we ate, and what a meat feast it was! After that was opening the presents, which was a blast, and I found myself not wanting the night to end!
How different this was from a month ago. Thanksgiving was awful for me. I had an argument with my brother, and was in a crummy mood. I decided not to even spend the day with my family, and drove to Titusville to eat by myself at Village Inn! I didn't really know how Christmas was going to go, but there was no way I was going to play Scrooge again! I didn't know if my family would harbor grudges against me, or not. They didn't. I didn't. It was a day of realizing how much we loved each other, and how we enjoyed giving each other gifts that would make the others happy. It was a great day.
Most families have a certain amount of dysfunction to them anymore. The "perfect" family, if that ever really existed, seems to be impossible to find, but I think if we think about it, those we care the most about, who care the most about us, are worth the petty squabbles and the difficult moments. We don't always get along, or want to be with each other, but when they are no longer around at all, how lonely life really becomes! Kids move away, friends get promoted and move, and parents die. Then we realize how much we really loved. Too bad we can't always see that BEFORE the tough stuff comes!
This Christmas could have been the worst one ever. It turned out to be one of the best. My sorry, little black tree wasn't the focal point. WE were. Dirty floors and all, it was truly wonderful!
I hope you all had a marvelous holiday season with your loved ones. Now we look forward to the new year 2017. May God bless you all in it, and may it be full of the love, peace and happiness you've always wanted!
