Christmas lights in our bathroom, reflected from the curved, magnifying pull-out mirror onto the ceiling.
A Christmas candle is a lovely thing;
It makes no noise at all,
But softly gives itself away.

Here we are on Christmas morning 1994 at present opening time! Our 'tradition' was the boys would come and jump on our bed first thing with their stockings (pillow cases!) from Santa, we'd go down for breakfast, and then open the presents under the tree. After lunch (usually turkey or chicken), I would give everyone one or two presents I'd kept back, and the same after dinner. Finally, I would sneak up in the evening and put a small present in their beds! It was quite a lot of pressure, but fun to make the day last!
Would love to know what your Christmas traditions are.

I received this beautiful handmade Christmas card a few years ago from a friend and it has been a treasured keepsake ever since.
Happy Texture Tuesday!
Five more photos from Christmas Day. After lunch, Matt and Sophie came round. They didn't stay too long as Matt had a bad cold, but we did have a drawing game on our iPads, which made us laugh! Looking at this, you'd think they'd been at the booze!
BOKEH! xD
I used many effects on this like...uh...cross process and winterize.
I LOVE the focus though.
~I can't wait...25 days!
I salute you. ..
There is nothing I can give you which you have not. But there is much,
very much, that, while I cannot give it, you can take. No heaven can
come to us unless our hearts find rest in it today. Take heaven!
No peace lies in the future which is not hidden in this present little instant.
Take peace! The gloom of the world is but a shadow. Behind it, yet within
our reach, is joy...

Just sharing one of the Christmas cards I made this year.
I used the pretty decorative ornament that I'd won in Greta's scramble - thanks again, Greta! After stamping the ornament in dye ink, I used a quickie glue pen to add clear glitter to it and silver glitter to the topper.

Thanks for the comments and favorites my friends
Our living room, awaiting the arrival of friends and family. If any of my Flickr friends are ever in Sonora, let me know. I'd love to see you.
There used to be several more stockings on the mantle, but the kids have taken them with them as they've moved on.
Can you find the ornament posted yesterday on the tree? (Hint: Check the note.)
Hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas.
Many apologies for taking so long to return visits over the last four or five months, only another few months of chemotherapy then radiation to go, then will, hopefully, be on the way back to normal.
First Christmas full moon since 1977. The next one won't be until 2034.

I took a photo of my camera while shooting the Christmas lights on 34th Street in the Hampden neighborhood of Baltimore.
Christmas Lights - Coldplay
It's the best christmas song ever. I am going to start a tag relating to Christmas songs!
Currently my top 5 favorite Christmas songs:
1. Christmas Lights - Coldplay (stating the obvious)
2. Baby It's Cold Outside- Willie Nelson
3. Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong (Not christmas song exactly, but I love listening to it on christmas!)
4. I'll Be Home for Christmas
5. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Your turn!
Christmas! The very word brings joy to our hearts. No matter how we may dread the rush, the long Christmas lists for gifts and cards to be bought and given - when Christmas Day comes there is still the same warm feeling we had as children, the same warmth that enfolds our hearts and our homes. ~Joan Winmill Brown
For Christmas 1970, I was a student at the University of Oklahoma. I was a member of the Acacia fraternity. I helped decorate the frat house for Christmas.
My girlfriend (and future wife), Judy, helped decorate. Here we are kissing under the mistletoe.
We celebrated Christmas 2010 with our son, Brian, and his family in Columbus, Ohio.

Another quick shot today, my daughters school was closed due to the snow, so I had quite a bit of running around so that I could get to work. My mum was a star today though and looked after her until after I picked my son up from school.
This is one of her cactus that is now in full bloom and looks so pretty.
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.
