This is one of several angels which are the symbols of the Christmas market at Ludwigsburg. They are huge and as their wings are illuminated they look spectacular at night but they are also quite impressive in daylight.

Christmas in the Philippines
Pasko ng Pilipinas
Christmas, in Tagalog: Pasko, is by far the most important celebrations day of the Philippines, months before the 25th of december, preparations start. The malls, houses, streets, churches, well, everything is decorated with the most beautiful christmas lights and colours. In the Philippines, Pasko, is not only about celebrating with family and loved ones, there it is also about sharing.
The picture was taken in a restaurant in Candelaria , Quezon , Philippines
We miss you Philippines!
I couldn't resist another Christmas-themed photo. Cookie, my Crimson-bellied Conure wears her Christmas colors all year long. She's silly, mischievous, and loves a good cuddle. She even has her own theme song, sung to the tune of "O Tannenbaum":
O Christmas bird, O Christmas bird
How lovely are your feathers
O Christmas bird, O Christmas bird
Please don't biiiiite my nose :)
Explaining that last line, when I first got her, she used to dangle from my hair and reach down to nibble on my nose. Luckily she's found other activities to occupy her time...usually.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !!
FROHE WEIHNACHTEN EUCH ALLEN !!
May the spirit of the season be the melody that plays in your heart all year long....
Möge die Stimmung der Weihnacht die Melodie sein, die das ganze Jahr über in Euren Herzen spielt....
Thank you for your friendship, girls and boys :)
Danke für Eure flickrFreundschaft, Ihr Lieben !!
This Christmas I want to send a message of peace to everyone!
I especially want to acknowledge those artists from all over the world, who come to Flickr and show how beautiful a virtual world can be. I also want to thank everyone who takes real life photos that are wonderful. I follow you both with great enthusiasm.
For both kinds of pictures, I feel a job well done deserves a "Favorite" which I give with joy. There are so many, it think the phrase to describe it might be best as “Like a lot”.
I wish everyone’s Christmas to be, above all, quiet and serene, and that it makes you smile
and fills your heart with great hope and joy. I also hope that you share it with your friends and family. This is the best gift you can give or receive this Christmas.
Lots of love,
Emma Jane

Christmas Eve in Grainau, taken during the blue hour 2 years ago. Many people go to the cemetery on Christmas Eve, with candles or lights. There is festive music and a blessing from the priest. Probably some Gluehwein somewhere afterwards or a good meal and definitely presents.
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve!

Big hugs Chan for making this with me! You are amazing!♥
I wanted to repost some of my old CHRISTmas shots as I have so many new Flickr friends who haven't seen them before. But I googled the thought, and it seemed to think ya'll would get bored with me? So I guess I'll just share an old one with a new one. First comment please ...
after all the years of doing photography, this is the first time I used my own image for my Christmas card... I had them printed before I took in Daisy... so I updated this one to include her!!
Happy Caturday and wishing everyone a wonderful weekend and a Merry and Blessed Christmas!!
❤🎄🎅⛄🎁❤
As we move closer to the Winter Solstice the nights get longer and the constellations shift in the sky - this is what I saw the other night!
Happy Slider Sunday!
Je vous souhaite a tous de passer de très bonnes fêtes de Noël !
Tout plein de bonheur et que des bonnes choses !
I wish you all spend a great Christmas!
Full of happiness and good things!
Christmas can be many things for many different people. When I was a kid, Christmas was that wonderful day when we got many presents and ate many sweet things. Regrettably, it took me a while to understand that not all had had so many presents or eaten so many sweet things, but that is another story.
Later, it became the season when we spent days and days shopping for presents to give to family, friends, office colleagues and, and, and… Once in Japan, Christmas was the day when I had to play Santa (what has this got to do with Christmas?) and eat sushi, which, even though a delicacy, made me feel very very homesick.
Now, my children married and living away, it became the day when my wife and I have some special treat, like pork sirloin roasted in the oven or some special codfish recipe. A glass of champagne is mandatory, a few drops for my wife who can drink no alcohol. The old tree keeps us company.
What is, after all, Christmas? We are taught it is the day when we celebrate the birth of Christ. But is that all there is to it, or is there anything more? There must be. Christmas centred on a Santa Claus reinvented by Coca-Cola is so different from the christian celebrations of my youth around the Christmas creche that there must be a common thread somewhere.
We first note that Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December although the birthdate of Christ is known to no one. Then you read about the first christians building churches on top or near old temples to easily gather around them people who went to the temple of old. Next we hear that there was sometime around the longest night of the year a major pagan gathering to celebrate the new year reborn from the dead of winter, and you are mesmerised at the sagacity of early christians. After all Christmas might be the celebration of the birth of Christ but it is essentially all about redemption of our sins (I would rather say faults) and, now cleansed, rebirth.
Christmas is for me the time when we look back and forward, into our heart and soul, and outward to the world we created, and, maybe with a humble heart, approach our relatives, our friends, neighbours, our fellow men and wish them "Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year".
Merry Christmas to all my flickr friends and contacts.

The Christmas Bear is a a bear from the UK crafted in Merrythought a British historical factory. The plush is mohair and the paws are made of cotton velvet
It's a very beautiful hand-crafted bear and I'm very glad I own it .
LUIS: “Komm Bärbel, lass uns eine Schneeballschlacht machen !”
BÄRBEL: “Ja gleich, ich befreie nur noch schnell die Blumen vom Schnee.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LUIS: ‘Come on, Bärbel, let's have a snowball fight!’
BÄRBEL: ‘Yes, in a minute, I'll just quickly clear the snow off the flowers.’
Je vous souhaite un joyeux Noël *
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas *
