Brampton gets ready for Christmas 2022
Brampton, Cumbria
Brampton is a small market town, civil parish and electoral ward within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Carlisle and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Hadrian's Wall. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated off the A69 road which bypasses it. Brampton railway station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is about a mile outside the town, near the hamlet of Milton.
St Martin's Church is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and contains one of the most exquisite sets of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and executed in the William Morris studio.
The town was founded in the 7th century as an Anglian settlement.
Brampton was granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, and became a market town as a result.
During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart stayed in the town for one night, marked by a plaque on the wall of the building (a shoe shop) currently occupying the location; here he received the Mayor of Carlisle who had been summoned to Brampton to surrender the city to the Young Pretender. The Capon Tree Monument, to the south of the town centre, commemorates the 1746 hanging of six Jacobites from the branches of the Capon Tree, Brampton's hitherto traditional trysting place.
In 1817 the Earl of Carlisle built the octagonal Moot Hall, which is in the centre of Brampton and houses the Tourist Information Centre. It replaced a 1648 building which was once used by Oliver Cromwell to house prisoners.
Much of Brampton consists of historic buildings built of the local red sandstone.
“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.”

Another shot of Denmark (wonderful model).
Shot with a Canon 7D at f6.3, 1/60 sec, ISO 100 and a 24-70mm F2.8 lens. A little Lightroom 3 and it's done.
Design for the 2009 Steelehouse Christmas card. All 13 employees were custom "8-bitted". A fun quirky, retro, and fun combination of cross-stitch and Christmas greetings.
"Merry Christmas from the many faces of Steelehouse!"

Christmas in Australia is held in the summer months and is usually spent outdoors or by the beach. A wooden Christmas tree stands in the sand by the ocean at sunrise. A seagull flys overhead
Christmas ornaments are decorations (usually made of glass, metal, wood or ceramics) that are used to festoon a Christmas tree.

Tournedos de magrets de canard avec ses poires au Roquefort | Repas de Réveillon
Je vous fais partager notre table. Je la dois à Nataly, ma femme, qui nous a proposé comme toujours un repas raffiné et joliment décoré. Quel régal pour les yeux et les papilles !
Ici, le plat de résistance. Le magret est ici cuisiné comme une tournedos, accompagné de poires cuites et d'une sauce roquefort. Sur la gauche, une petite endive (le légume préféré de ma femme !). C'était délicieux !
Le tout était accompagné d'un Beaujolais Supérieur 2009 du "Chateau Vaurenard".
Bon Noël à tous !
Merry Christmas !
Frohe Weihnachten !
Feliz Navidad !
Natale allegro !

Christmas 1975 at my parent's house in Cordell, Oklahoma. The boys were able to play with their cousins.

They don't take down their Christmas decorations 'till the end of January, so we were glad to see the pretty lights around the square.

Christmas markets on Dublin's Saint Stephens Green. This is something of a new tradition, started off in recent years by "farmers markets " at holiday times & with huge footfall along Stephens Green stretching from the shopping centre to Kildare Street, most of the wooden cabins are now open for business.
