Our Christmas tree was in good shape, but we were eager to clean the house up a bit. Rather that tossing it on the curb where it magically disappears, we put our to good use by chopping the limbs and tossing them into our compost bin.
We got turned on to composting after our 2005 visit to Vancouver Island and seeing black gold soil in a bin in Ucluelet. The city of Scottsdale offers these black bins (made of recycled plastic), and we've been composting in the desert the last 2 years. It takes a bit longer, but we get good soil for our veggie garden.
We celebrated Christmas 2001 at our home in Richmond, Virginia.
Our Norwegian Christmas table (julebörd).
My illustrated Christmas card inspired by the theme of the "Christmas Time Is In The Air Again" song, I made it as part of the Team Mariah's task.

Alt title - Christmas lights seen through my near-sighted camera.
And for those of you who think xmas lights bokeh pictures are pointless, read on. There IS a point to this picture :)
This was actually my very non scientific experiment with the out of focus blur patches created by each of the lenses I have.
It's interesting to see that the results differ quite a bit between the different lenses. and I was surprised to see that the 16-35mm 2.8L didn't perform very well in terms of creating smooth and even patches. Whereas the ones from my crappy ultra zoom look pretty pleasant.
Another interesting finding, although not very viable on these small images, was the patches created by 2 of my lenses have some interesting spiral pattern within them. Both of them are zoom lenses which extend when "zoomed".
The winner, IMO, would be the 70-200 F2.8L.
A while back I said I was going to turn this pile of fabric into Christmas bunting.
Here's the results.
I sort of cheated- they're not even sewn together, but it's hardly even noticeable.
There's one hanging over the doorframe into the kitchen too!
Christmas common. The Oxfordshire Way. England.
The hamlet's unusual name is of uncertain origin. It is variously ascribed to a 1643 Christmas Day truce between combatants in the English Civil War

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.

After Christmas last year I went out and bought a purple table cloth, and so I've waited nearly a year to be able to use it for my Christmas table!! Here is the room looking unusually tidy (no phones, laptops, pens, paper, etc!!) - the calm before the storm of Christmas, when the boys will be home!!
(As you can see, I took this while watching 'Strictly Come Dancing'!)
