This photo is a result of my experimenting with the 135L at work. Purposely throwing our work Christmas tree out of focus at f/2.0 is cool. But creating star shaped bokeh is cooler. ;)
Merry Christmas everyone!

We celebrate Christmas 1983 at my parent's house in Cordell, Oklahoma.
Unfortunately, my camera was acting up so the pictures aren't very good. But, I still am glad to have them.
The cousins watching as presents are opened. That's quite a pile under the tree.

Thanks for looking, everybody!
The Christmas stocking on the wall is 50 to 60 years old and belonged to my maternal grandfather but keeps getting mysterious bulges around Christmas time 30 years after my grandfather left this Earth. I told my girlfriend Leslie Anne to see what is in there. She discovered a little pink bag popular with sexy girls all over the world.
We're celebrating Christmas in July on the Craftsy Blog! Check out our roundup of Christmas quilting patterns, including this beautiful Christmas tree quilt!

Sophie Larner, Limerick at the turning on of Limerick Christmas Lights on Bedford Row in the city.
Christmas was magically unwrapped in Limerick with the most enchanting ever switching on of the city’s festive lights to a captivated crowd in the city centre.
Children and parents from across the city, neighbouring counties and even up the West coast and Dublin watched on in wonder at the unfolding launch of the ‘Christmas in Limerick’ spectacular.
The show capped a year of stunning theatre and performance across Limerick and was put on by Big House Productions, who were also project directors of the biggest street carnival in Ireland this year – the September hosting of the Royal de Luxe extravaganza that attracted 250,000 people to Limerick to see the 25ft tall Granny in the high point of celebrations for its National City of Culture status.
The thousands who turned up today expecting more of the same were not disappointed as among the highlights of the 45 minute performance was the opening of a Christmas Card to the people of the city and county from Limerick’s favourite Granny herself.

Good morning, everyone! Happy Christmas (Eve day)! Hope you all have a wonderful day today and tomorrow. In Calgary, the temperature is -5C, with a windchilll of -11C, supposedly getting up to 0C (windchill -5C) this afternoon, so we are lucky. What would Christmas be without a snowman? This one was made from a hollowed-out gourd and I just couldn't resist it when I saw it at my local garden centre : ) Stands about 10" high.
For many people, Christmas is a very difficult time, for various reasons. My thoughts are with them and, as always, with those who for one reason or another will spend Christmas alone. To those of you who don't celebrate Christmas, I hope today and tomorrow will be happy ones for you. If you will be on the road, please don't drink and drive!
Today, I am lucky enough to be going looking for owls again, with friends Cathy and Terry. I've never, ever been out this many times so close together, looking for these magnificent birds - three times this week : )
Wishing you all a HAPPY CHRISTMAS and all the very best in the New Year!
This is my Grandmother's Bible. When she died the only things I wanted from her estate were her collection of family pictures and her Bible. My family was so gratuitous to allow me to become the caretakers of both. I cherish both, but her Bible is so precious because I find the verses that she marked. Every year I use her Bible in my holiday decorations and every year I am reminded how important Christmas was to her. I wish you the happiest and most wonderful Christmas. I hope and pray you know the Reason for the Season.
“And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” Luke 2:8-11

Defocussed Christmas tree. I took this picture with a Canon RP and Leica M mount Voigtlander 40mm Nokton f1.2 using a close focus LM to EOS R adapter. I think this is why there is so much cats eye bokeh as it was seriously out of focus.
This was a favourite when In growing up & now it reminds me of being in my grandparents living room playing records & decorating the tree.

My Kindle delivered a story of the best Christmas letter I've seen written in Ireland. It's 100 years old this year, written by Hannah “Annie” Howard, to Santa.
From the Irish Times:
"The slightly scorched missive, dating from Christmas Eve 1911, when Hannah was 10 years old, was discovered up a chimney in a house in Terenure, Dublin.
"Sitting at home in Bangor, Co Down, while his wife read out details of the story, Mr Bartlem initially failed to make any connection between himself and the young girl in the story. Even when the address on the letter – Oaklands Terrace, Terenure – was mentioned, he put it down to coincidence.
"It was only when he heard the name Hannah that he realised the girl in the letter was his mother.
"His mother’s carefully crafted Christmas wishlist, topped with a good luck message for Santa, was discovered in the chimney by the house’s current occupant, John Byrne, when he was installing central heating in 1992. He kept the letter as a memento of times past, deciding only to publicise its existence this year to mark its 100th anniversary.
"In her letter, Hannah, like many 10-year-olds, is quite explicit about what she wants from Santa."
She wrote, "I want a baby doll and a waterproof with a hood and a pair of gloves and a toffee apple and a gold penny and a silver sixpence and a long toffee.”
Because the letter was signed “A or H Howard”, it was initially thought to be jointly from Hannah and her younger brother, Alfred.
But as the Irish Times discovered, "Hannah went by the name 'Annie', hence the 'A or H Howard' on the letter, a clever insurance policy in case Santa got confused.
"Hannah was born on Christmas Day 1900. The excitement of having her birthday on the same day as Santa’s arrival must have been considerable.
"Mr Bartlem said his mother attended the Zion Church of Ireland school in Rathgar before going on to marry Alfred Bartlem in 1931, with whom she had two sons, Howard and Victor. She and Alfred moved to a house on Lomond Avenue, Fairview, shortly after they married, where she died in 1978.
"Mr Bartlem said his mother had been extremely creative, excelling at various forms of needlework and later at woodwork. She was also an expert baker of cakes and other confectionery, which may go some way to explaining her toffee-themed letter to Mr Claus.
"Hannah’s niece, Iris Murphy, who lives in Stillorgan, Dublin, was also alerted to the letter’s existence only yesterday, when her daughter in Tasmania read about it on irishtimes.com.
