Christmas is an annual holiday celebrated on December 25 that marks and honors the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.Christmas is celebrated throughout the Christian population, but is also celebrated by many non-Christians as a secular, cultural festival. The holiday is widely celebrated around the world, including in the United States, where it is celebrated by 96% of the population.
Il Natale è la festività cristiana che celebra la nascita di Gesù il 25 dicembre, figlio della Vergine Maria concepito divinamente. Egli nacque da Maria a Betlemme, dove lei e suo marito Giuseppe si stavano recando per partecipare al censimento della popolazione organizzato dai Romani

A seasonal MOC, made for a contest at Comunidade 0937.
It's a cottage decorated for Christmas. Created using basic bricks and tiles, it's one of my rare buildings.
It was a big effort to create such a thing. My parts collection is oriented to the creation of vehicles, not houses.
Also it doesn't have minifigs, although it is minifig scale. The contest rules would not allow it. Besides, my minifigs are mostly city workers, mechanics and race car drivers.
Inspiration came from many photos and postcards I found on Google.
I wish I could put a V8 and some big tires in there... :D

An estate sale today yielded all this stuff! Christmas galore, vintage children's books,a delicate miniature set of nesting baskets with lids, and more! They didn't have the Christmas ornaments out yet so I was the first to get a go. I LOVE Christmas stuff! My favourites are the international doll ornaments and the 10" Holt Howard feathery angel.
Except for the red and green Christmas tree stocking and the snowman stocking at the left, all these stockings have been knit by my mom and sister over the years. Mine is the pink and green one.
Christmas in London, including a big blue cock , various xmas decorations and you can now take picture in the national portrait gallery
I am getting crafty-desperate... do you know what I mean? Feeling jealous of all those people on flickr, who sew and make and draw and paint and fix???
So yesterday I simply told myself to go touch nice cotton fabric for a few hours. It worked, I felt a lot more calm afterwards! :-) In a few weeks time things will be calmer and I can do this more regularly, I tell myself...
Here is a bit of christmassy patwork mess going on... I do not know exactly where it will go, but it could become a bag. Wonky and slanting and totally off, it made my day!
Another Christmas Treat!

1/2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups sifted all-purpose flour

Lunch today with my dad and brother. My brother is feeling poorly, though, so here is a pic of his lunch instead of his face.
Actually this is the shot I meant to post yesterday but time got away from me. Surprising how easily that happens - especially at this time of the year.
I received a bunch of lovely cards and gifts from friends - here's a little collection. Thank you for thinking of me. :)
Happy holidays everyone!
