Merry Christmas to all my friends and followers on Flickr, and all the best for 2022. I for one certainly 'hope' to get out a bit more next year, 2021 has been another tricky one, and I probably only need 2 hands (and maybe one of my feet) to count my visits to the lineside, and even the buses have dried up again. We shall see what next year brings, and hopefully I may bump into some old faces again soon. But for now, time to put my feet up and enjoy a few beers!

Take care everyone.

Merry Christmas everyone and a happy New Year !

Open book with a three-dimensional Image is a digital artwork featuring a whimsical, snowy village scene atop an open book. The layout is centered, with a focus on a miniature village composed of intricately detailed, snow-covered houses with warm, glowing windows. The houses are arranged in a cluster, creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. In the foreground, a tall, decorated Christmas tree stands prominently, adorned with twinkling lights and a shining star at the top. The background is softly blurred, enhancing the magical, dreamlike quality of the scene. The entire composition is illuminated by a gentle, golden light, creating a serene and festive ambiance. Snowflakes and sparkles are scattered throughout, adding to the enchanting, fairy-tale aesthetic of the image.

From me to all my Flickr friends

I cannot take credit for the idea for this photo. I have seen several people post similar greetings and I liked the personalized feeling of it. So, from me to you, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

May peace and plenty be the first to lift the latch on your door, and happiness be guided to your home by the candle of Christmas. (A traditional Irish Christmas Toast)

Baghead is hard at work under Shelley's strict supervision (which includes a swear jar... so that's the next decade's worth of Xmas presents paid for already).

I'm sure Baghead is safely balanced on that chair... it's not as if action figures ever suffer from loose ankle joints is it?

Last Sunday my plan for the day was to put up the Christmas trees and decorations. However, when I got into the attic where the trees are stored, I discovered there had been little visitors who had found their way into some of the boxes stored there. I have collected Christmas decorations since I was a child and each one holds precious memories for me. Fortunately, the Christmas decorations are stored in sturdy plastic boxes and were not disturbed. Here is the Lady Mouse from my red and white tree, this was given to me by my youngest sister and it always reminds me of her.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday for everyone!

2015 has been a tough year for me. I have had a hard time keeping up with everything. Truthfully I was not keeping up.

Then just in time for Thanksgiving I found myself unexpectedly unemployed. It made it very hard to find my Christmas Spirit. While others were happily shopping and preparing I was deep in despair. Tried my best to hide it.

The birth of my grandson while it brought me much joy, it also made me feel even more worried about the future. I saw myself as a dead beat grandfather who was unable to take care of my family!

Spent most of December trying to figure out where and what I was going to do. Not sleeping and sick to my stomach.

Then just in time for Christmas I received a job offer. I will begin my new career on Jan 4th!

Words can not describe how thankful I am!

It is finally Christmas in heart!

A photo taken 2 years ago but still the prettiest Christmas candles I've seen. (not mine, Roger's Gardens were selling them).

For Smile on Saturday's prompt: "Curious Candles". People are curious to know if I bought one - no. And if they smelled good - yes!

We are trying to get out of the deep darkness in Europe ... perhaps Christmas Light will show us the right way to take back our future.

Stiamo cercando di uscire dal buio profondo in Europa ... forse la luce del Natale ci indicherà la strada giusta per riprenderci il futuro.

A quiet moment at a festive window, where reflections mix with soft winter light. A lone silhouette pauses, caught between the street outside and the warmth inside.

Merry christmas friends!

Christmas morning Breakfast Waffle Stout

"Amundsen Christmas Morning Breakfast Waffle Stout, from Gulating Ølutsalg, Stavanger. ABV is 4.7%. Very dark brown colour, nearly black. Small off-white to beige head. Aroma of lightly roasted malts, blueberry jam and waffles. Flavour with the same elements as the aroma, not too sweet" A real STOUT should be more heavy, this is waterly. Not THE BEST Christmas-beer. .

Christmas Cookies Bokeh

We often like to have a tree in our dining room, but as there isn't much room we usually choose our slim tree.

I really like this view from the kitchen, with the reflection of the lights on the TV screen. This room has a multicoloured look, but leaning towards purples, turquoises, yellows, etc.

Christmas scene taken through a store window. Merry Christmas All.
