From Maria and I to you!

Merry Christmas to all you...

The popular name for this plant is actually a Christmas Cactus and I had originally planned to post it a few weeks ago. For whatever reason it never happened but rather than keep it for another year...

I did struggle with finding a composition that wasn't too cluttered because once this cactus starts flowering, it is covered in beautiful, but very short lived blooms.

Snapped as a whole, (at least by me!) it can look like a big red compost heap but trying to pick out an individual bloom can also be problematic.

The Christmas Tree

The decorative centerpiece of your home for the holidays, the Christmas tree is a symbol of hope, peace and goodwill towards everyone. From various fruits, nuts and other treats used to decorate it years ago, to the special ornaments of today, the tree represents eternal life and a tremendous faith in Christmas.

Christmas tree worms (Spirobranchus giganteus) are found on the tops of rounded corals. They are worms, and each worm has two structures, radioles, that project into the water for respiration. Radioles bristle with cilia which capture plankton and phytoplankton and pass it down to the worm's mouth. Each worm can withdraw its radioles in a blink if it senses danger. The worms can live to 40 years old.

I have not yet found anything about the variation in color.

Christmas trees have traditionally been evergreen conifers, such as a pine or fir trees, which for centuries have been used to celebrate winter festivals in both the Christian and pagan tradition. Thousands of years ago, pagan celebrations involved the use of branches to decorate homes for the winter solstice, evoking themes of the incoming season of spring where trees and flowers would bloom once more.

Christmas gingerbread and spices.

I wish you all a peaceful and reflective Christmas. Stay healthy !!!

It's Christmas Eve.....

Bear hearts are racing

Will everyone get the present they want from the Christmas bear or Father Christmas.

At Funky's house in Mummy Marian's garden:

FUNKY:

Someone looks in through the window.

Hm...would it....would it....

Funky walks to the door opens it and looks around the corner at the window. There is a bear looking in.

FUNKY:

OMG...Nutmeg...is it you???? (tears rise)

NUTMEG:

Is this number 24?

Is it you.....yes...it's you!

Funky!!!!!! How happy I am to see you!!!

The Christmas bear dropped me off here!

FUNKY:

Come in quickly, you're just in time for Christmas

After giving each other a hug and a snuffly kiss,

they go inside and drink hot chocolate under the Christmas tree

FUNKY:

Thank you Christmas bear!

This is the best present ever

Nutmeg is a bear from the UK, beautiful hand crafted in Merrythought, a British historical factory. The plush is mohair and the paws are made of cotton velvet

Christmas makes awesome bubble bokehs - especially with the bubble king lens

Great to see a local farmer getting into the spirit of Christmas in their own unique way!

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate it!

From five years ago, on a gorgeous sunny December 25, 2016. Back then a Christmas gift of the sun setting along the St. Lawrence River. Unable to go canoeing today as it was freezing rain most of the day and very icy outside. Better to stay inside with family all day on Christmas.

"Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show. The secret lies in an inner glow. It's lighting a fire inside the heart. Good will and joy a vital part. It's higher thought and a greater plan. It's glorious dream in the soul of man."

...As ornaments were hung on this tree, I believe it qualifies as a Christmas tree!
